The grasslands in winter are cold and boring, and the animals have moved to warmer places in the south, even hunting is also very poor, but after all, this era is not the time when the population of later generations swelled to turn the grasslands into arable land, most of them still maintain primitive characteristics, and animals are not uncommon, but they are all small things, and it is good to beat the tooth sacrifice, but there is no fun in hunting.

Most of the Tatars stayed in their felt tents at this time, the steppe was not without coal, but the steppe people would not open mines, wood was even rarer, some hay was prepared for cattle, sheep and horses for winter, could not be used for heating, most of the herdsmen's felt tents were cold, the temperature was just enough for people to survive, and the hardships of the steppe people's life could be seen in general.

Under such conditions, most of the children born in winter cannot survive, which is also a natural factor restricting the Hu population on the grassland.

This winter is not good for the Tatars, a snowstorm on the southern steppe, so that many tribes of the Tatars are suffering heavy losses, and then they have a grudge with the barbarian tribe, no one knows what the Tayang Khan, who is known for his irritability, will do in the next spring, so he has to prepare for the war that may occur in the next spring, which increases the burden of the various tribes.

Regardless of the ordinary herdsmen, they generally do not have their own opinions, but the leaders of the tribe must think about their people, and they all have gray hair, this is the most serious moment in the shape of the Tatars in decades, at this time, every action of the Wangu tribe may determine the future of their tribe.

However, no matter how worried the Tatars were, Zhao Shi's life was leisurely and wandering, and he went out hunting with Qin Qihai every few days, and trained some of these Tatar warriors beside him in his spare time, and instilled military ideas in the young Mu Huali, this young Mongol was far more interested in cavalry warfare than other arms, and it was not just what he heard, the young Mongol had his own keen sense of the battlefield, and from time to time Zhao Shi could sigh. The Mongols were indeed born cavalry leaders.

But he was not without business, and as Qin Qihai continued to enter and leave his tent, some young Tatar nobles finally couldn't bear it, and in the days that followed, young Tatar lads challenged him every day, perhaps because they had been warned by their elders. They didn't dare to go too far, and they didn't make any scenes of life and death duels.

Zhao Shi also knows the rules of the grassland people, avoiding war will not be regarded as measured forbearance, but will be regarded as cowardice and will be despised by everyone, besides, he has nothing to do, since it is not a life-and-death duel, there is nothing to scruple about.

The beating of a few young Tatars who came to challenge them with blue noses and swollen faces made these noble children who had only heard rumors and not seen them in person know. This Han man is really not very easy to mess with.

Later, since he couldn't beat hand-to-hand combat, he began to change his tricks and riding skills. The bow and arrow also moved out, Zhao Shi is really not very good at this, but he has a good horse, and the horse race is worry-free, as for the bow and arrow, all the bows and arrows in his hands are pulled and broken, as long as you can't find him to pull the hard bow, where to start with the bow and arrow competition?

These young Tatars were amazed at his sheer strength, and there was nothing too good to do to fall him to the ground. So, after a while, no one came to him anymore to find no interest in himself.

Then there is the imminent turmoil on the grasslands. This is not a good thing for the steppe people. Fighting a war in addition to the spoils of war. Always to the ground of the dead. The Tatars' desire to fight was not high.

But for the merchants who come and go to the prairie. This will be a rare opportunity to make a fortune. In addition, the Tatars encountered a snowstorm that had not been encountered in a hundred years. Demand is bound to be better than ever. The merchant who got the news ignored the cold wind and danger on the grassland. Take advantage of the new defeat of the Jin country. There is simply no way to block opportunities at the border gates. Swarming into the grasslands. Some of the big businessmen who have some good friendships with the leaders of the various departments are even more active.

The merchants, who represent their respective background powers, are like a group of sharks that smell blood. Quickly popped up from everywhere. Gathered to the Wangu Division.

In addition to the cheap animal skins and medicinal herbs on the grasslands. The most eye-catching thing is the horses. Wild horses on the grassland are inexhaustible and unique resources of a grassland. A little training. It is the best war horse. This is the place where the grassland is blessed.

Horses in the prairie are also cheap. The steppe people need salt, tea, spices, and cold clothing, and even rice and flour. A few pounds of coarse salt can be exchanged for a good horse. To the south, it was thousands of taels of silver. This difference is of great interest. It was enough for a merchant to risk his life to come to this faraway steppe.

If it's a previous year. Only those who are familiar with the steppe. And have a relationship with the nobles of the grassland, the local merchants may gain the right to buy horses. There is also a strict limit on the number. More than dozens of horses. As few as a few. Less land was unbearable for the merchants. And these transactions are also carried out in secret. After all, the Tatars would not risk angering the kingdom of Jin. And blatantly trade with merchants.

Now it's different, the army of the Jin State on the grassland in the clouds suffered a heavy blow from the Western Xia army, after a few months of war, in addition to the main force of the Jin soldiers guarding the Datong Mansion in Xijing, the army of the Jin State was almost swept away by the Western Xia people, not to mention the Taiyuan side in Hedong, the Jin soldiers were defeated in a battle, and they were defeated by the Great Qin, and it is rumored that if it were not for the marshal of the Great Qin Army, the elder brother of the Great Qin Emperor, Li Xuandao, the King of Wei, was seriously injured, and it is estimated that the soldiers of the Great Qin have arrived in Taiyuan now.

In this year, since the Great Qin raised the army, after the defeat of 100,000 Jin soldiers in a battle on the bank of Fenshui, in fact, the Jin country is extremely powerful, and the invincible aura has fallen on their heads, which is by no means a local war The defeat can be summarized, and the impact will be far-reaching.

For example, the current Tatars, who have lost the heavy military suppression of the Jin State Chen on the Great Wall, have no scruples. After sending away a group of enraged envoys of the Nabarbarians, Ara's Khan convened a tribal council, and the first thing he did was to decide that the border markets would be opened in the Tatar steppes tomorrow spring, and everything such as salt, tea, knives, guns, bows, arrows, pig iron, etc., would be traded.

It's just that I didn't expect the merchants to come so quickly, and when the grassland was still in the depths of winter, there were already caravans pouring into Wanggubu in droves, and almost all the caravans added up in previous years were not as many as this year.

In fact, the difference between the steppe people and the Han people in the Central Plains is not only that they are nomadic people and do not farm, but their respect for the merchants is far more than that of the most flexible officials in the Central Plains, and there are more unwritten rules on the grassland, which can rob the horses, cattle and sheep of the hostile tribes, and can also kill those innocent people who are not pleasing to the eye, but they will never fight the idea of the caravan, because that will keep the caravan away from their tribe, and they will not get good wine and salt tea from the south, which is fatal to the tribe. And in addition to these things, what they need most is iron.

Merchants came to Wanggubu, although it was a harsh winter, they brought a large amount of goods in this season, the cattle, sheep and horses on the steppe were very thin, at this time the trade made it impossible for both sides to be satisfied, but most of these merchants came to explore the market first, to see what the Tatars needed, and where the price should be set, and wait for the next year to be a good time for trading.

These have nothing to do with Zhao Shi, but from ancient times to the present, businessmen are the group that knows the most about drilling camps in addition to officials, and they even know better than some officials how great the benefits of power are.

And although these merchants who came to Wanggu were from the Jin Kingdom, some from the Western Xia, and some from the Han countries in the south, without exception, these merchants would not be simple retail merchants, so they would appear here at this time.

However, no matter where they come from, the Han people account for the vast majority, which is not difficult to understand, the Han people have a large population and enough experience, no matter where they are, you can see the shadow of Han merchants.

When they came to Wangubu, they were warmly welcomed by the Tatars, and some of the quick-witted merchants, who were familiar with the steppe, knew from the Tatars' attitude towards them that they had come to the right place.

And with the continuous investigation of news, Zhao Shi, a special being, also came into their sight, a Han people, in the Wanggu Department is unimpeded, whether it is the people or those Tatar nobles, they all respect him......

The so-called long drought is a rainstorm, and the Han people are not common on the grassland after all, and if they meet one or two, they are not much different from the old knowledge?

Some Han businessmen were immediately overjoyed, but these people, regardless of their temperament, were all old enough to find Zhao Shi, and they didn't rush to find Zhao Shi, so they first sent people around to inquire about Zhao Shi's identity. Hearing the rumors from all over the country relayed by the people who came back, everyone was even more overjoyed, and secretly sighed that this guy was too lucky, and the beautiful name of Wang Gubu's Hun Qin Qihai spread in the grassland, why didn't he call himself when he encountered the other party's troubles? Maybe you'll be able to make a fortune.

This is not counting, seeing that the other party comes and goes with the king's tent guards, and the envoy is like a slave to the family, and the little prince of the Wanggu Department is not ashamed of the class, and it is rumored that the other party is born with bravery, and it is the messenger Yunyun sent by the gods, and the merchants have determined that the other party has an extraordinary status in the Wanggu Department.

As a result, more and more businessmen came to Zhao Shi to meet him, and he was tired of it.

It seems that now, there are two people sitting upright in front of him, "Hedong Cui Shi, Fengxiang Zhao Guang has seen General Yingyang......"
