Chapter 212: Orc Trade
When the news that the orcs had sent war horses from the Two Realms Pass to Songhai City, Shaoyang smiled in surprise, "I didn't expect them not only to really come, but also to come so quickly." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
To be honest, when this condition was proposed, Shaoyang doubted that after the orcs took away the bloodthirsty fangs, it would be like this, as if there had been no records of humans getting compensation from orcs for 100,000 years.
"It should be for the sake of grain trading, and it is estimated that the reason why they are so anxious is that they are reluctant to give up the 50,000 stone grain this year, think about it, the war horse can only be used to eat meat if it is not traded, and a horse is only one or two hundred catties of meat at most, and it is indeed worth exchanging five stone grain, not to mention that winter is coming, and they are short of food. Guo Jia's guess is not far from ten.
The orcs are so proactive, Shaoyang is naturally not easy to slacken, and 20,000 war horses are not low in attraction to him, for more than a year, the winners have successively provided more than 10,000 war horses, and there is no way to provide more war horses in a short period of time, although not long ago from the werewolf tribe grabbed a lot of war horses, but it is really not much.
The two discussed for a while, and felt that it was always a little inconvenient to let the orcs enter the Northern Wilderness, at least they couldn't let the orcs enter, not because they were afraid that the orcs would take the opportunity to rob, just the two or three thousand werewolves, and the little ** didn't pay attention to it.
The main reason is that those hot-tempered orcs are crazy, and it will be difficult to hurt the people in the territory, even if they kill those orcs, it will not help, and it will affect future transactions, for the transaction with the orcs, Shaoyang is still very optimistic.
If it was before, Shaoyang would not have this kind of thought, more often he was thinking about whether to go to the orc territory every year to loot, but now he has figured out that the strength of the orcs far exceeds that of Songhai City.
Ordinary orcs can say that as long as the army of Songhai City is careful, there will definitely be no problems, and it is impossible for orcs to launch another million-level war, right?
Those orc sanctuaries are the trouble, they may not be able to attack the army, but Shaoyang knows that if he dares to rob the orc tribe, they will definitely take action against him and the generals.
He knew about the existence of the Beast God Mountain from the two old men of Yingfeng Shaoyan, not to mention the existence above the Holy Domain, even if he came to the late stage of the Holy Domain, it would be difficult to deal with it with the current strength of Songhai City.
If you can't fight, then it's a good deal, the orc tribe has a lot of resources that are in short supply in Songhai City and even the human country, as for the price paid, food Shaoyang thinks that 50,000 stones a year is enough at present, and whether to increase it in the future is to say, but there are still a lot of things in his hands that the orcs should like, such as Wuliangye and tea, these things are not sold to the orcs is not an enemy, and it is not a violation of the human convention.
"Then let's hurry to the Two Realms Pass, or General Burton will die of sorrow. Thinking of Burton's letter full of worries for his sake, Shaoyang felt very relieved, not a subordinate relationship, but a very good friend.
Fifty thousand stone grain is too troublesome to transport, Shaoyang directly into the main city space of the system, now Songhai City has a lot of grain production, after this autumn harvest, only the newly reclaimed tuntian has harvested more than 100,000 stone grain, Songhai City never sells grain, the newly built granary is full of piles, just find a granary can be enough.
The accompanying escort was the White Dragon Legion, which set off early the next morning, and arrived at the Liangjie Pass in the afternoon of the same day, met with Webster, borrowed the territory of the Liangjie Pass, and entertained them with wine and food. The cooks in the Two Realms Pass had long learned the first-hand Songhai City cuisine, and now they brought it out to entertain Webster and his people.
Don't look at Webster is the prince of the lion tribe or even the prince of the entire orc tribe, but where is the orc paying attention to food, it is still good, because of the yearning for human culture, there are also a few human slave cooks in his hands, and it is not that he has not eaten human food, and he still can't resist the temptation, and the cups and plates are messy for a while.
"Is His Royal Highness Webster satisfied with these wines and dishes?" After they had eaten about the same, Shaoyang had the opportunity to toast Webster with a glass of wine.
"Satisfied, satisfied, especially with this wine. Webster took a sip of a bowl of Wuliangye and licked the wine on the corner of his lips, "It's really good wine, it's a hundred times better than what I've drunk before, and these foods are delicious, but you humans have too little appetite and prepare too few portions." ”
What else can Shaoyang say, don't think about it, the same food is another round, this is not over, and when the fifth round is finished, those lions are still patting their stomachs, not that they are full, but they have to keep their stomachs and drink more wine.
The price of the war horse transaction was agreed a long time ago, and they had already arranged to hand it over before the banquet, and now the grain should have entered the temporary camp of the orcs, and the war horse was also in hand, and it was driven back to Songhai City by two thousand recruits from the White Dragon Legion.
Five thousand of them were sold to Burton at a low price of five thousand gold coins, so that the war horses of the Two Realms Pass Legion could make up 10,000 horses, seeing that he wanted to get 10,000 cavalry, but he still begged Songhai City for help in training, and the soldiers would go to Songhai City for training at that time.
When Webster was eating, Shaoyang had been thinking about how to facilitate other transactions, looking at their appearance, Wuliangye must be very marketable, but he was hesitating how to open his mouth in order to get more profits.
"Your Highness Shaoyang, these five grains are so delicious, I don't know if you can sell some to me. Webster's voice interrupted Shaoyang's musings.
Good man, no, it's a good beast, Shaoyang was happy in his heart, but he had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Your Royal Highness Webster, if you really like Wuliangye, I will give you ten more altars to take away when you leave, as for more, please forgive me for not being able to do anything. ”
Hearing that Shaoyang was going to give it ten jars, Webster was very happy at first, but he was a little sad to think that there were only ten altars, this jar of wine was only five catties, and ten jars were only fifty catties, where was there enough to drink, it was estimated that it was drunk before he returned to the tribe, and he kept pestering Shaoyang to buy it.
"Do you know how much grain it takes to brew this jar of Wuliangye?"
Webster shook his head.
"Five stones!" Shaoyang simply opened his eyes and said nonsense, the amount of grain consumed to brew Wuliangye was relatively large, but it was by no means exaggerated to the point of a hundred catties of grain and a catty of wine.
Webster's mouth couldn't close in shock, it was no wonder that it would be so delicious to consume so much food, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly lowered his mouth and swallowed all the saliva, a sip of wine was several catties of food, and it could not be wasted.
Thinking of Shaoyang's willingness to send ten jars of five grains to it, it was fifty stones of grain, although with Webster's identity, it was not very much, but for Shaoyang, who gave such a big gift when they met for the first time, it was considered very righteous.
Now Webster is entangled, he is reluctant not to buy Wuliangye, but if he wants to buy it, a hundred catties of grain and a catty of wine, the purchase price must be more expensive, it can't let Shaoyang suffer, he must pay a higher price, so he can't afford it.
