Chapter Forty-Nine: Leaving No One
"Rock Valley Clan?" Hearing the news of the Rock Valley Clan, Yan Shao couldn't help but be stunned. "What are they doing here?"
At the beginning, he won over various tribes, but Yan Shao ran away from more than a dozen tribes. He is no stranger to the Rock Valley tribe, among the more than a dozen Northland tribes in the kingdom, the Wintervalley tribe and the Stoneclaw tribe are the strongest, followed by the Rock Valley tribe and the other two tribes, and the Salt Lake tribe and the Blade tribe that were annexed this time are the two weakest of the dozen tribes.
In the previous natural disaster, the best situation was the Stoneclaw tribe, but the Iwaya tribe was not bad, and the clan had a lot of savings, so the Wintervalley tribe was able to get through it with a little support.
It's just that unlike the Salt Lake tribe and the Blade tribe, the Rock Valley tribe can't be moved with words, so Yan Shao didn't try to convince them last time.
"Did they say what their purpose was?" Yan Shao asked, frowning.
Hearing Yan Shao ask, Caterina said with a strange expression. "My father said they seemed to be here to do business?"
When it comes to doing business, there is probably no one in the tribe who is better at it than Yan Shao, so Byrne asked Caterina to call Yan Shao over.
It's just that
"Doing Business"
Yan Shao's face was fresh, if it was in the human kingdom, this would naturally be very common, but for the people of the Northland, it was really fresh.
At least Yan Shao is not very good at making up for his brains, a group of strong men who are more than two meters tall and weigh one hundred and fifty or sixty kilograms, standing in the store.
Well, if there really is such a picture, it must be beautiful.
When Yan Shao and Caterina arrived, they saw that Byrne was discussing something with the people of the Iwaya tribe, and the leader happened to be the patriarch of the Iwaya tribe, Almas.
"Oh, it's the young man who came to our tribe last time."
Looking at Yan Shao who appeared in front of him, Almas, who was talking to Byrne, said with a smile.
"Patriarch Almas" Yan Shao also hurriedly said hello, and then walked to Byrne's side.
Seeing that Yan Shao had arrived, Byrne also breathed a sigh of relief. "Almas came running and said he wanted to buy a batch of weapons and wine from our tribe, what do you think?"
Although he is stronger than most of the clansmen, when he was a mercenary outside, it was never him who was in charge of negotiations, but the captain at the time, and he really didn't know much about this aspect, otherwise he wouldn't have been deceived by the previous caravans for so long.
So when he encountered such a thing, he hurriedly asked Katerina to find Yan Shao, and then put him in chargeββββββ which was also unanimously approved by the elders of the clan.
In fact, these dense trivial matters have given this group of 'illiterate' people a headache, let alone management, and they can't even read a ledger. Only Caterina understood a few words under Yan Shao's teaching.
So now this aspect of the matter has long been handed over to Yan Shao to take care of.
As for the people under your hands, it's simpler, you just don't let me use my brains.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
"Do you want to buy weapons and wine?" was slightly surprised, Yan Shao said without hesitation. "Sell!"
Why not sell, in Yan Shao's planning, this was originally also a part of the rise of the tribe. Every time the goods purchased from Kane Town were piled up, the Wintervalley tribe alone could not digest them, and the grain could only be piled up in the open space.
If it weren't for the fact that there are few rats in the Northland, and there is no need to worry about insects or temperature, I am afraid that these grains would have gone bad long ago. But it wasn't a thing to go on like this, so it was inevitable to trade with other tribes in the Northlands.
That's right, these tribes are indeed poor, but they still have some things in their hands that Yan Shao likes.
What's more, at present, the human beings outside have the most demand for the Northland, which is all kinds of leather goods and some rare materials. It would be difficult for the Wintervalley tribe to collect it on their own, but if they integrated the surrounding tribes and acted together, then the harvest would be very considerable.
In Yan Shao's plan, the Donggu tribe is equivalent to a middleman, as long as a supply chain can be formed, it can break away from the current primitive tribal form in the future, and make itself strong by sucking blood from other tribes.
Naturally, this will definitely be hated, so it needs to be strong enough. Moreover, there are not only barbarians in the Northland, but also some other races.
Yan Shao can completely win over other tribes, and then suck the blood of other races, relying on the super combat power of the Northlanders to deter, no matter how resentful those races are, they will not dare to act rashly.
This series of plans, not to mention Byrne, has not even been revealed to Caterina, which is a secret in Yan Shao's heart.
But in order to do this, you first need to find a supplier.
Originally, Yan Shao also planned to lobby other tribes, but now that someone has taken the initiative to come to the door, how could Yan Shao refuse.
"Come on, let's go to the tent and talk" Eagerly grabbing Almas's arm, Yan Shao led them into the tent, Byrne and the other elders shook their heads helplessly.
As for the dozens of clansmen who came with this Almas, they looked at the mountains of grain piled up in the distance with shocked faces.
It was really a grain mountain as high as a hill, and now the old and weak in the clan have been mobilized and are working overtime to build a granary.
It's nothing to let them kill people with axes, it's more difficult to make them construction workers, and so far only a few granaries have been built, so most of the grain is still in the open air.
"So, I don't know what you all plan to procure" What I said before was still too general after all, so after entering the tent, Yan Shao hurriedly asked.
"Is this this?" Almas also saw the previous grain mountain, but compared with his subordinates, Almas's city was obviously much deeper. "Thirty heavy weapons, twenty bows, a thousand arrows, and twenty barrels of good wine"
Yan Shao opened his mouth in surprise, this is not a small deal.
Like many salespeople, Yan Shao was a little skeptical about the other party's ability to pay.
However, when Almas opened one of the bags he was carrying, that doubt suddenly disappeared.
"The Stone of Apollema?" Yan Shao looked surprised at the crystal clear gems in the bag.
This is a relatively rare alchemy material, Yan Shao only brought a few pieces to Kane Town before, and he exchanged for almost three carts of weapons, the amount of this bag is only more valuable than all the goods that Yan Shao brought back before
"How's that? Enough" Looking at Yan Shao's surprised expression, Almas smiled meaninglessly.
"Of course it's enough" handed over to Byrne, and the enthusiasm on Yan Shao's face increased a lot. "I wonder when you're going to take the goods?"
"If you don't see that I brought so many clansmen, naturally I will take them away today"
"Okay, I'll send someone to prepare to go, but there are more goods, and it may take more time" After all, there are a lot of things, and it will take a long time to sort them out.
At this time, seeing that the two were almost talking, Byrne said on the side. "In that case, why don't you stay at night and leave tomorrow with the goods, just so that we can have a banquet tonight."
"In that case, then listen to you," Almas smiled, full of meaning.
ββββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ
It was rare for such a big customer to come to the door, Yan Shao was naturally very happy, and this emotion quickly drove the people in the tribe. Coupled with the fact that the Donggu tribe is not short of food today, the extremely lively wine banquet has soon begun.
In the square in the center of the clan, more than a dozen huge bonfires lit up, illuminating the entire clan, and the clansmen sang and danced around the bonfire, and even the cold winter could not stop their smiles.
As for Yan Shao and Byrne and the others, they sat on the side of the bonfire, watching the laughing clansmen while accompanying Almas and the others.
Wine purchased from Cairn is available in almost unlimited quantities.
"I'm really envious of the way you look," Almas sighed, as he drank the wine from his glass and looked at the pomp and circumstance in front of him.
"We're just lucky, in fact, we have to be hungry in previous years" filled himself with a glass of wine, Byrne said with a smile on his face, as if he was infected by the atmosphere in front of him, and even his originally serious face showed a smile.
"Speaking of which, our tribe also owes you a lot of favors last time, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid our tribe would have starved. β
"Where is it, they are both from the Northland, and they should help each other," Yan Shao said beside him, but he didn't like to drink very much, so even if it was a wine banquet, he still didn't drink a drop of wine.
Yan Shao's words made Almas silent for a long time, and only after half a sound did he say leisurely.
"Yes, the people of the Northland are supposed to help each other, so you say, if I help others destroy your Wintervalley tribe, will anyone say that I am ungrateful?"
Yan Shao's eyes widened and he didn't react for a while, but Almas had already drawn out the weapon on his body and looked fiercely at Byrne, who was still drinking.
At the same time, while the clansmen were singing and dancing, hundreds of figures also climbed over the guardrail and pounced on the people in the square
"Kill, not one left!" Standing in the crowd, Helgesson said coldly.
