After Duke said this with confidence, he first picked up a sack from the ground, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured it directly on the ground.

The salt grains of the white flowers flowed from the pockets to the ground, and when they saw these salt grains, the eyes of the barbarians in the tent were immediately attracted.

"Great Shaman, this is the sea salt of our Storm Fort, brought directly from the Sea of Death and then dried in the salt works. You can tell that the quality of these sea salts is definitely much better than ordinary salt mixed with earth. At the same time, the salt in the sea is endless, and no matter how much the barbarians need, we can supply it to Storm Fortress. ”

After Duke finished speaking, he directly threw the salt bag in his hand, pointed to a few tea bricks on the ground and said: "This is also the tea you must meet, I can tell you frankly that Storm Fort is not actually produced, but Storm Fort has a mountain area close to the Saint-Michel Mountains and has enough tea to grow." Even if there is no way to produce, Storm Castle has a special trading house, which can reach the entire territory of the Francois Empire, and even expand to the entire continent, and there is no problem in buying tea!"

When Duke took out the sea salt and tea bricks, the expression on the barbarian shaman's face began to change, and his eyes remained fixed on the pile of goods on the ground. For the barbarians, these things are the necessities of life. Especially salt, as long as people don't eat it for a week, they will show signs of general fatigue.

And the barbarians are practical for some very greasy meat, which is also indispensable for the demand for tea bricks. More importantly, tea bricks are not simply understood by humans in this era, and Duke also knows that the reason why nomads are indispensable for tea bricks is because they need the vitamins rich in tea.

For more than a year, after the confrontation with the Hans Empire and the French Empire, the barbarians have basically been in a state of severance, except for a few smuggling channels, and the trade at the official level has been completely stopped.

Therefore, the barbarians' demand for salt and tea has reached an extreme situation, and the two things that Duke said almost made the barbarians a little unable to sit still. But the Great Shaman knew that he could never show his khanate's need for these things.

So the great shaman still said with a flat face: "Viscount Duke, these two goods of yours are indeed good, and they are also what our Khanate needs. But just if you want to exchange this commodity for war horses, it's too simple, war horses are in short supply on the mainland, but salt and tea bricks, we can also buy them from other channels, and we don't have to trade with you. ”

Hearing the words of the great shaman, Duke only smiled on his face, in fact, for the current situation of the barbarians, Duke had done enough work, otherwise he would not have come to trade with them.

It is true that the barbarians can still buy from other channels, but in addition to the imperial officials, other territories, even the existence of the duke level, cannot meet the needs of the huge khanate of the barbarians.

You must know that the size of the entire barbarian tribe has exceeded the scale of the Hans Empire and the Fran Empire, and is even divided into four khanates, and the current trading with Storm Castle is the Silver Horde, which is also the largest of the four khanates, almost the same size as the entire Fran Empire.

And the Silver Horde, which is also the nominal suzerainty of the four great barbarian khanates, has the ability to gather the entire barbarian tribe at a critical moment. It is because of this that there is so much pressure on the French Empire and the Milan Empire.

Think of a khanate of the size of an empire, which lord can achieve this kind of transportation and supply? Duke can not be exaggerating to say that only half a foot into the industrial production of the Storm Castle, the Storm Merchant with the Storm Carriage, can meet the needs of the barbarians for salt and tea bricks, so they have not many choices.

But Duke doesn't want to say it so directly now, and saying it is almost a slap in the face. These barbarian guys are all simple-minded and want to save face, and if they can't get off the stage and refuse to trade directly, it's just a joke.

"Of course I know that the Great Shaman has other trading channels, otherwise it has been blocked by the two empires for more than a year, how could you still be so energetic. ”

Although Duke didn't expose it back then, irony is indispensable, and he can't let the barbarians be too arrogant, Duke wants them to understand that in fact, the initiative is in their own hands!

Sure enough, after Duke said this, the expression on the great shaman's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't say anything. Because this is indeed the death hole of the current khanate, there are already many herdsmen who are unwell due to the lack of salt and tea bricks. And the crazy rise in prices also had a great impact on the rule of the khanate.

The barbarians are not monolithic inside, if the Silver Horde really declines to a certain level, they may not wait for the human empire to do something against them, and the other barbarian khanates will not be able to bear it.

"Since you are not very interested in salt and tea bricks, great shamans, you will definitely be very interested in ironware. ”

After Duke finished speaking, he picked up a shovel and an iron pot from the ground, and slammed it hard, making a crisp sound of metal impact.

"Did the Great Shaman hear that, this is the iron from Stormcastle, and it's all made of fine iron, far better than the pig iron you used to have. Solid and rust-resistant, they last longer, and you can even use them for other purposes. ”

Duke even had a "you know" look on his face at the end. Compared with salt and tea bricks, which can still be smuggled, for iron tools, the two empires have issued death orders, and they must not be sold to barbarians in wartime.

This kind of order directly issued by the royal family to the border guards made some big lords dare not do this kind of smuggling. After all, it's not just a matter of money, the lords who can smuggle are all on the border, and if the barbarians have enough iron weapons, they will be digging their own graves when they attack themselves.

Therefore, the ban on the sale of iron weapons can be called a concerted effort, and there is basically no big smuggling, except for some smugglers who are hungry for profit. But the number of smugglers is too small, it can be said that for more than a year, the barbarians have not used enough iron pots, and even the few major attacks they have launched recently are not to invade the territory of the French Empire or the Hans Empire, but to go to the residential areas to rob these necessities of life!

When Duke took out these iron tools, the barbarians, who had been able to remain calm before, let go completely now, and locked their eyes on the iron tools on the ground!
