Volume 11 Zhang Gong Bei Looks at the Sky Wolf Chapter 1112 Covenant (7)
The weather on the grassland is getting cooler, and it has entered the late autumn season, and the long caravan has come to the camp, attracting the attention of countless people.
Not because the caravan was too large, but because it contained enough goods to catch everyone's attention......
It is not accurate to say that it is cargo, but it is not outrageous.
Because it was a group of women dressed in bright costumes and covered with gorgeous cloaks, but still faintly visible graceful figures, with veils covering their faces, but more reverie.
That's right, this is a team of female slaves, slaves from the Western Regions, who are fat and thin, but have a strong exotic style.
They are either dressed explicitly, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, looking bewitching and moving, or with silver rings on their hands and feet, walking with a jingling sound, with an indescribable rhythm, which sounds indescribable to give people room for imagination, or they are tightly wrapped up and down, leaving only a pair of smart eyes, and occasionally leaving a few laughs that are more crisp than silver bells, enough to make any man's heart move.
Female slaves in the Western Regions, whether in the Han and Tang dynasties, or now, have always been the gifts of the powerful for the Han people and for the grassland Hu people......
The turmoil in the Western Regions, the battle for the holy city of Jerusalem, and the strife on the other Big 6 make the people of the two Big 6 collide and merge at the same time.
This makes the races and ethnic groups of the countries of the Western Regions very chaotic, there are always people who say that the Western Regions is a place of beauty, this statement is actually grounded, everyone knows that the offspring born to strong men and women of different races often have a genetic advantage.
Huns. The Turks used to be there. Big Food. The Han and Tang dynasties, the Tibetans, the Khitans, and the Jurchens all had infiltration there, and all had a profound influence there.
The crusade of the Papal States also showed that another kingdom on the Great 6 never ceased to have ambitions there.
It has always been a place of war. It is also a place of mixed ethnic groups......
The people there are simply everywhere with the blood of several ethnic groups in their bodies.
It is true that there are beauties in the Western Regions, but the fame of the beauties in the Western Regions is obtained in such a tragic situation, which many people will not think about and cannot imagine.
According to the words of the Han Chinese, it is a standard place of four wars, and it has unique strategic significance.
The words are a little far away, back to the main topic.
This merchant of the Western Regions is not a true merchant of the Western Regions. From his bombastic rhetoric, it is not long to feel this. But what is admirable is his luck.
First, this guy was determined to come to trade with the barbarians, until he entered the place where the barbarians were the most powerful, he didn't know that the barbarians had been defeated, although the great khan of the barbarians was not beheaded by the enemy, but the Naiban Khan tent had been wiped out on the grassland.
Therefore, the goods he prepared seemed to have no buyer, and ordinary steppe tribes would not be able to swallow such goods.
However, his luck was very good, he met the Tatar envoy, and the Tatar envoy was very enthusiastic to tell sù this stunned merchant who plunged headlong into the steppe where the war had just ended, and the strife was far from subsided, and there were still some noble people who could let him return with a full load.
But he had to go farther, and was allowed to walk the steppes in the name of the Tatars, so that his good fortune came not only that he no longer had to worry about the bandits who lived by plundering, but that he was able to come to such a prosperous place, and for the first time in the course of a half-year trip, the caravan had seen so many people gathered.
Moreover, there are people of noble status here, surrounded by guys who can easily take out a cart full of dazzling gold, and the messenger did not lie to him, and when he came here, there was no shortage of buyers for his goods.
Second, as the first merchant of the Western Regions to travel east, he lacked too much experience, not only did he meet the rumored fierce bandits on the way, but also was able to bring all those delicate goods here, which has to be said to be a small miracle, many merchants will add a sentence in their hearts after listening to his narration, what a lucky guy.
Yes, this guy's identity is a slave trader, there is no doubt about this, his net worth is not in those scattered novelties in the Western Regions, but in the body of those thirty or so female slaves, which is the commodity he wants to trade.
In any case, his presence was very popular, especially for the Han merchants from the south, and these female slaves were very attractive to them.
In their eyes, the meaning given to those female slaves simply cannot be measured in money.
That's a relationship with the powerful, that's a cash cow in the future, and it's going to be a piece of ornaments to show off to your peers, and so on.
The thought of bringing these female slaves back to Chang'an, and hundreds of years later, letting the legend of Hu Niang in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty reappear in the prosperous land of Chang'an, this alone is enough to make these Han businessmen crazy.
They took out a qiē in their hands and wanted to buy even a female slave from the merchants of the Western Regions, even if they lost their capital, they did not hesitate, they even reversed their previous caution and unique humility and courtesy, and showed their Qin identity, threatening and seducing them to the extreme.
This was the first time that the foreign merchants had seen their toughness in line with their Qin status, so many people shy away from competing for slave girls who were precious and beautiful, but not enough to cost them too much.
But obviously, the merchants of the Western Regions, who did not know too much about the situation here, saw such a situation, but clenched their palms, unwilling to take a shot lightly, in the Western Regions comparable to the same amount of gold tea and silk, it really made him excited, but with the greedy blood of the merchants of the Western Regions, he felt that he could fight more.
He didn't care about the empty threats, because there were many witnesses here, according to the rules of the Western Regions, in the bazaar, the merchants had the privilege of their own transactions, and even the king could not lightly force the merchants to execute the contract......
But this is not the Western Regions after all, and he understands this, but don't underestimate him, he also has the cunning characteristic of a merchant......
In the face of more and more naked threats, he immediately threatened that half of his goods would be dedicated to the most honorable people here.
When he had said this, he was soon surprised to see that the merchants who had gathered around him before, as if they could not be driven away with knives, had disappeared at once, and even those merchants with whom he had spoken very cordially these days had changed their faces, and looked at him with very strange eyes, and turned away from him.
This made him both proud and unspeakably afraid, and he asked the hired guards to guard his goods tightly, and tried to find out why this happened......
His good fortune had come to an end at this point, for he had no idea that the most honorable person here was planning a wedding.
The master of the West Kereh Department, Sang Kun, had already arrived at the Yunwai Grassland at this time, and the marriage between the general Zhao Shi and the Kereh Department was also prepared under the tacit understanding of both sides.
Mongol marriages are generally not too solemn, because the harsh environment of the northeastern steppes does not allow them to be too indulgent.
After a Mongolian man has set up a marriage, he may only need to lead a few horses and come to his father-in-law's tent as a dowry to take his wife away, even if it is a nobleman, there will not be much difference, as if no one in the northeast steppe has the right to organize a luxurious wedding.
But this time is obviously different, not only is it the grassland outside the clouds, but both parties to the marriage understand that this wedding has an extraordinary significance.
Sangkun, who had already obtained the title, brought a large number of cattle, sheep and horses to give to the newcomers, of course, these were his trophies this year, which was not very rich, but in the Mongolian tribes, it was already rare.
The Qin people will not be lazy on their side, and the general's grassland concubine gift will automatically be endowed with legendary colors and extraordinary significance by all the Qin people, and they will naturally spare no effort to handle it.
The dowry has been sent to the Kereh Department a long time ago, although there is a lack of a marriage process, but no one will care about this, the Kereh Department is too far away, and it is impossible to go there to marry as a general.
However, other etiquette should be done enough, in fact, it is impossible to do enough, Sang Kun, as the woman's father, is not fake, but Zhao Shi's side, except for a kind of Qi Niang, there are no parents present, and there is no housewife to control, how can it be possible to do enough etiquette in the way of Han weddings?
Fortunately, this is the grassland, and the party who marries is the grassland Hu people, although they attach importance to the number of etiquette, they will not be as cumbersome as the Han people.
There are no parents, no housewives, these are not important, it seems that the important thing can only be solemn and lively.
Fortunately, there is a kind of Qi Niang here, and Li Xing and others are also from a family, Mu Huali is more familiar with the customs of Mongolian marriage, so as soon as they discussed with each other, the general's marriage began to be in full swing. 、
In fact, at this time, the coalition camp has already moved, and they are all worried about the general's marriage, and they have not publicized it to the outside world, but the news cannot be hidden, and vaguely, everyone knows that before the alliance, that noble person is going to marry the princess of the Kerebu.
The merchants were very sensitive to this, and they were all thinking about congratulatory gifts or something, but they would not talk nonsense, and the merchants who had been here for a while knew what kind of power that noble man had here.
And this stunned merchant from the Western Regions not only arrived for the first time, but also told many people that if he wanted to give some female slaves to that honorable man, it would be like stretching his neck to a knife.
Even if the honorable person is happy to accept these fragrant gifts, it depends on whether the other person agrees, right? Many people are waiting to see the joke......
(It's going to be updated late in the evening, but don't worry, even if you can't get it out before 12 o'clock, you can still deliver it after 12 o'clock.) )
