Volume 11 Zhang Gong Looks North and Shoots the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 1111 The Covenant (6)
However, few people treated these envoys in the same way as the Bulu Khan, and some of the tribes that were remnants of the central steppe of the barbarian tribe politely declined the envoy's invitation and migrated elsewhere after the envoy left.
Most of them, after careful consideration, agreed, and those who needed allies, such as the Mirbegs and Tatars, were even more pleased, and not only warmly entertained the envoys, but also their leaders agreed to come to the meeting in person......
It's still the same old saying, the weak do not have the right to refuse the strong in the steppe.
The Tatar tribes, the Kereh tribes, and some of the Nabarians will inevitably occupy large areas of the steppe, and then gradually become stronger, and eventually replace the Nabarian tribes, as many people know.
And after they met the envoy, they could easily understand that this meeting was the united tribes who were proclaiming their prestige.
Such an invitation was equivalent to a surrender for some of the Nabarian tribes, a goodwill for the Mierbegs, the Tatars, and the Uighurs, and a disguised solicitation for the scattered tribes of other tribes......
Whether it is an enemy or a friend, many people feel their courage, and as a result, some people who were going to refuse change their minds, and some people who were already happy to receive the invitation are more optimistic about their future......
The envoys traveled through the steppe, passing through the tribes, and in addition to spreading the news of the destruction of the Nabarian tribe farther, they also brought the Tatars and the Kereh tribe by the way. Han. It is an alliance of barbarians, and all those who preach it are.
As the day of the alliance approaches. The already lively Yunwai grassland became even more noisy.
It seems that the steppe outside the clouds has never been so noisy, and the Tatars, as the masters, are all smiling, almost eagerly waiting for the day of the alliance......
Many merchants left with their caravans after trading, and they had to trade the harvested goods before winter came, and the wind and snow on the steppe were no joke.
But. They were all small caravans, always worried about whether they would be fed, and the big caravans chose to stay and planned to spend the winter in the Tatar steppe.
In addition to the mission they had, the rest were for the greater good, and they intended to witness the convening of this alliance, and at the right time, use their slick hands and rich gifts to establish a deeper friendship with those nobles......
They buy and sell goods. It's not about surviving, so. They are able to take the nerve and seek ways to maximize their benefits.
Therefore, in the steppe, not far from the site of the Tatar alliance, many tents were naturally erected and gathered together, and eventually became a market for merchants and steppe people.
There was no one to restrain them, no one to manage, and no one to collect taxes, so it seemed very chaotic, but as time passed, more and more merchants took a fancy to this place and chose this place as their place of stay, making it more and more prosperous......
The merchants who came here first usually set out in a hurry and did not bring more goods and money, but the caravans that came here later did not.
They are more prepared and bring more to the table.
The Han Chinese merchants from Datong were undoubtedly the most popular here, as they easily brought tea and silk from the south.
At the beginning, many Han merchants kept their eyes on war horses, which were always the most precious things in the Central Plains.
But then, some of the people who traded the war horses regretted it, as merchants under the rule of Great Qin, it was impossible for them to sell the war horses to the Later Zhou or Southern Tang Dynasty.
And Da Qin ...... Does Daqin, who has conquered a large area of grassland, still lack war horses?
They were anxious, and they were soon ridiculed by more sober people, they may not lose money, but this time they came to the distant grassland, the hardships all the way, and the exhaustive thoughts, may be in vain.
However, what comforts them is that Datong has opened up the border market, and the border tax has been set, and it will not be possible this year, and it can come again next year.
However, it is conceivable that this trade route to the Yunwai Grassland will attract too many merchants, and it will ...... next year The harvest is really hard to say, and they are helpless to realize that they have missed a great opportunity just because of a momentary impatience.
However, businessmen trade is like this, there are losses and gains, this is the charm of it, everyone makes a lot of money, and it will never be born......
Of course, this is just the stupid work of a very small number of inexperienced and discerning businessmen.
These Han merchants who came here from the direction of Datong not only brought the most eye-catching and precious things, but also their status as Qin people also gave them a different kind of courtesy, which made many businessmen who came here from other places very jealous.
These Han merchants, even if they speak an authentic Hedong dialect, as long as they take out the customs clearance documents issued by Daqin, they can travel unhindered on the Tatar steppe, they can enter the Tatar tribes at will, be warmly entertained by the Tatars, and meet the Tatar nobles lightly.
Even, some people can enter the barracks and trade with the Qin soldiers, especially those merchants who come from the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan and the Qin River, which makes the Qin soldiers who have been away from home for a long time feel close.
And some big businessmen came here, staring at the barracks, and hadn't even stepped into it half a step......
However, no matter what kind of jealousy and envy there is, the arrival of Han merchants in the south has brought new business opportunities, which will not be fake......
For a long time, tea, silk and other things could only be seen in the hands of the Jin and Tangut people, and it was not enough to supply the magnates of their own country, and it was really not easy for the merchants outside to get it.
But now they don't have to worry, many merchants are wondering whether they should go to the Han border in the south, and they don't know if those Qin people are allowed to go over.
Their ambition is far more than just buying some tea and silk from the Han merchants, and the good things in the Han land are far more than these two, although they are far away, but the biggest difference between these foreign merchants and the Han merchants is that they have enough adventurous spirit......
Moreover, some people with a very long-term vision are already thinking about it, if it is feasible, to go from the Yunwai grassland to Datong, and then go south, into the heart of the Qin State, although the road is very long, but this will definitely be a trade route with a price higher than gold.
If the Qin people could continue their conquest and incorporate Western Xia into Qin's territory, the journey would suddenly be shortened by more than half.
The Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty of the Han Dynasty will be re-presented in front of everyone, and those who block the countries of the Western Regions from trading with the Han people, and the party people who should go to hell in the mouths of the merchants in the west, should also have time to eat the bitter fruits, including those rough Khitans.
These are the two countries that the merchants from the west hated so much, and they blocked the Silk Road, which millions of people yearn for.
These merchants who were able to come to the Yunwai steppe in time were not the top merchants, especially the caravans from the west, and there were not many merchants like Ah Jian Sulu who could meet the Uighur Great Khan.
However, with the coming and going of caravans, there will definitely be wealthy merchants who will notice this trade route, they have extraordinary influence in the west, perhaps, they will guide the Qin people, as well as some excesses in the west, to try to open up the former Silk Road.
Such a follow-up impact is not something that anyone can predict, even Zhao Shi.
What he saw and heard in Daqin made him not pay much attention to these merchants, after all, this is not the future generation, businessmen, especially those in the realm of Daqin, are still at the bottom of society.
He would not have imagined that in the Western Regions, merchants had a completely different appearance......
In the future, the war between Daqin and the Khitans of Western Liao was a war led by merchants, although they were not dominant, but the shadow of merchants could be seen everywhere......
Back to the topic, by the middle of July, a serious merchant from the Western Regions finally appeared in the Yunwai Grassland, he spoke stiff grassland dialect, had a long curved beard, snow-white skin, a curly head, and high eyebrows and deep eyes......
According to himself, he came from the Kaburu tribe, an inconspicuous small tribe in the Western Regions, and he still had the blood of the Tibetans, Khitans, Turks, and even the Huns, of course, this may be just his own boasting, although this boasting is very ridiculous in the eyes of the Han Chinese, but in the Western Regions, maybe this is a symbol of honor, because the tribes he mentioned have been rampant in the Western Regions.
But no matter how much he exaggerated, the goods he brought were indeed very eye-catching......
