Amr didn't know who the Lord was.

He didn't even know the other party's official robes.

The Tianlong people are very troublesome, and there are more styles of official robes, which are like them, very simple.

He didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't want to waste time because he wasn't sitting comfortably.

So he asked directly: "When we came, we had already heard that your prince was going to open a mutual market and sell us grain, I don't know if it's true?" ”

One of the directors said: "Naturally, there will be no false in this matter, but whether this mutual market can be successfully opened depends on the will of your Great Khan."

His Royal Highness the King of Qin heard that you froze to death a lot of cattle, sheep and clansmen this winter, and you don't want to add more casualties, so you ask Your Majesty to open a mutual market.

Now there are merchants who have brought some grain over, and there is more grain on the way. I just don't know, how much food do you need? ”

The implication is that there is not much food in the border cities now, and even if troops are sent to grab it, they will not be able to grab much.

If you want to wait for more food, you have to trade obediently, don't think about the crooked idea of looting.

When Amur heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that you sell as much grain as we want?" ”

The director smiled: "Food is a strategic material, you can want food, but you can only exchange it for horses!" ”

The word strategic materials was still spoken by the King of Qin, and after the King of Qin came, he divided the traded goods into strategic materials and living materials.

There are a number of rules in place for the trade of strategic goods.

One of the most important is that horses must be traded.

If it weren't for that, not many people would be willing to sell food to barbarians.

Listening to the conditions stated by the principal, Amur and the others were not very surprised.

These cavalrymen who were sent were all able to understand the Tianlong dialect, and although they may not be proficient in many words, they could understand many words.

However, Amur's Celestial Dragon dialect is the best learned.

Not only can he understand, but he can speak.

So as soon as the words of the main minister came out, he understood it, and even learned the word strategic material without a teacher.

Food is really important, even if they prefer to eat beef and mutton, they can't just eat meat, they have to eat something else.

Especially this winter, too many cattle and sheep have froze to death, and although the weather is warmer now, it will take some time for those little lambs and calves to grow up.

What's more, the weather is too cold, and there is not much grass growing on the grass, which is not enough for cattle and sheep to eat.

If you want to raise cattle and sheep, you have to rely on forage.

And their horses, too, need forage.

Otherwise, you will have to starve to death.

If it weren't for the fact that they were about to lose their lives, they would not have gathered their armies and planned to go south to find the Draconians desperately and loot grain and forage from the Draconians.

It would be great if the Tianlong people were really willing to open a mutual market and trade with them.

Thinking of this, Amr asked again: "We still need forage, can this be traded?" ”

The director smiled and nodded: "Naturally, but forage is also a strategic material, so it has to be exchanged for horses." ”

Amur thought about it, the value of horses is not low, if it is a war horse, it is even more valuable here in the Tianlong people.

How much is forage?

Even if you do exchange horses, it's not impossible.

He then asked, "What if we still want an iron pot?" Could this be a strategic material too? ”

The principal straightened his face, and his expression was a little serious: "The iron pot is an iron tool, and it naturally belongs to strategic materials.

To tell the truth, many ministers in the DPRK and China were reluctant to trade iron pots with the Foreign Trade Division, and it was His Royal Highness the King of Qin who insisted that His Majesty was relieved.

However, the iron pot is an iron tool in the end, which is a key strategic material, and if you want to trade, you have to exchange it for the same strategic material, such as a war horse. If it really doesn't work, you can use iron ore. ”

This was not something for Amr to decide, so he said, "I can't be the master of this, so I have to go back and ask the Great Khan what he means." ”

The presiding officer was not surprised by this, and he did not expect Amur to be in charge, but just told him.

He smiled and said, "In addition to grain, forage, and iron pots, you can also trade salt, tea, sugar, pickles, and even coal stoves.

In addition, we can buy your cattle and sheep, furs, and even wool. You can raise more cattle, sheep and horses, and as long as the market continues, we will collect as much as we want. ”

When Amur heard this, he was astonished: "You still buy wool? ”

The director nodded again: "That's right, this is what His Royal Highness King Qin meant." He said that if you don't have enough sheep and cattle, you can buy wool. ”

Amr couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The sheep they raise have long hair, and they have to shear their wool every time it gets dark, otherwise it will be too hot, and the sheep will shed their hair and may even get sick.

The women of their barbarian tribe would wash the sheared wool, dye it, and weave it into a blanket to spread in their tents.

However, the Draconians don't seem to like their blankets very much.

In the past, there were occasional Celestial Dragon Merchants who secretly traded with them, but those Celestial Dragon Merchants didn't look down on their blankets, and they only needed gold every time they traded.

If someone really collects their wool after the opening of the mutual market, it will be a good deal.

Whether it's cows, sheep or horses, it's not easy to raise them from a young age.

What is like wool, which can be sheared every year?

If you raise more sheep, you will definitely get more wool sheared.

If you can sell it, won't you make a lot of money?

When Amr thought of this, his heart couldn't help but burn.

It took a long time for him to suppress the excitement in his heart and ask again, "Then what else can you trade besides these?" ”

This time, the principal didn't elaborate, but said: "When the mutual market is officially opened, there will be a commercial street, and that commercial street will be full of things you can buy."

However, only a small number of transactions can be carried out on the commercial street, and if you want to buy in large quantities, you must go through the Department of Foreign Trade and enter into a deed. ”

When the principal said this, he suddenly clapped his hands.

Seeing this, Amr and the others instantly became vigilant and instinctively grabbed the hilt of the knife.

Then I saw a group of people rushing in with trays of fish, and finally stopped in front of them.

There was a wooden box on each tray, and it was unknown what was inside.

Amr looked at the master who had been talking, puzzled.

Although there were two principals sitting on the main seat, only one of them spoke, and the other was like a background board, never saying a word from beginning to end.

This time, however, the principal suddenly spoke.

He looked at Amr and said, "In these wooden boxes is a little bit of our heart, you can take it back." The market will officially open in seven days, and if you are willing to trade, please bring the goods after seven days. ”

When Amr heard this, he opened the wooden box in front of him.

I saw that there was a parchment roll inside, and something seemed to be written on it.
