Chapter 270: The Deal Is Made
In the Aratha tribe, Amossi is second only to the leader Shinar, and has decision-making power in many matters.
Although it is true that cattle, sheep and horses are the lifeblood of their steppe people, if they cannot compete with the Morkhanate with sophisticated weapons and equipment, then these livestock will become enemies sooner or later.
Therefore, this weapon, he must have to change.
But when Xia Qi proposed that he could exchange cattle, sheep and horses for weapons and equipment, he immediately thought of another resource that the Arata tribe was in short supply.
"Your Majesty the Great Xia Emperor, as long as the price is right, our Arata tribe is willing to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for corresponding weapons and equipment. In addition, we also want to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for a large amount of food. ”
Regarding Amossi's request for food exchange, Xia Qi did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
For him, who has the bonus of agricultural civilization, his grain output has long exceeded the annual consumption of the entire Great Xia.
Anyway, even the weapons and equipment are given to them, and there is no shortage of food.
After making an agreement, Xia Qiyi asked Amosi to go down to rest first, and then asked Du Ruhui to draw up a price list.
How many weapons and equipment can be exchanged for a sheep, a cow, and a horse, and if a deal is to be established, these prices obviously have to be set first.
Every year, Great Summer produces a batch of worn or damaged weapons and equipment, some of which can be used after simple repairs, and some need to be rebuilt.
The weapons and equipment used for trading can be rummaged through here for some less worn-out ones.
These things are naturally unsightly in Great Xia, but they are rare treasures for the grassland people who are still using stone and bone weapons on a large scale.
After taking a quick glance at the transaction price confirmed by Du Ruhui, Xia Qi handed over the matter to Su Qin to deal with.
Since Su Qin successfully persuaded the panda people to surrender, Xia Qi appointed him as the chief diplomat of Great Xia.
Although, this diplomat is actually useless, just an ornament.
When he heard that Xia Qi wanted him to negotiate with the grassland people to do business, Su Qin was very excited.
To be honest, it is not a matter if he is asked to only receive a salary and not work every day, and he has no confidence when he even receives his salary.
Therefore, in the face of this hard-won task, Su Qin naturally attached great importance to it.
Before Amosi met, Su Qin was fully prepared, and when he saw the person coming, the whole person seemed more calm and calm.
Because, the other party looks much more nervous than him.
"Messenger, look."
There was no nonsense, Su Qin directly handed over the sorted out price list.
"If there are no problems, please confirm the purchase quantity first, so that we can prepare in advance."
Amoxi took the price list with some nervousness, and then sadly discovered that he didn't know how to read.
In the end, he could only ask Su Qinnian to read it to him with an embarrassed face.
This also made his already small momentum even more insufficient.
But there is no way, in the face of a country as strong as Great Xia, he is really not strong.
Su Qin didn't feel sorry for him, and simply quoted the price.
After listening to this, Amosi secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, although he already knew that these weapons and equipment would definitely not be cheap, and he was also prepared in his heart, but he was still surprised by this price.
"This ...... Isn't that a bit expensive? ”
Looking at Amosi's appearance, Su Qin
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Where do you not know what he thinks?
But don't forget, what does he Su Qin do, he can say that he is alive when he dies, and he eats with one mouth.
In his flicker...... Phew, under persuasion, Amosi became more and more excited, and it was almost a matter of kicking the door.
Su Qin saw that the time was almost up, and immediately asked the soldiers on the side to bring a bronze war knife as a sample.
The sword was unsheathed and slashed directly at a pre-prepared piece of wood.
Under the knife, the wood was suddenly divided into two sections!
The hesitation on Amosi's face suddenly disappeared, and in its place, there was a fire in his eyes.
"Lord Su Qin, can you show me that war knife?"
"Of course, the messenger doesn't have to be polite, please."
Su Qin turned the war knife and then handed it over to Amossi.
Although these weapons were returned, they were military after all, and they could be said to be the best weapons in Great Xia.
In terms of quality, there are no problems.
Therefore, Su Qin didn't mind showing it well, so as to further arouse Amosi's desire to buy.
Amossi, who took the sword, showed a tenderness that did not match it on his rough face, and his big rough hand gently stroked the cold and sharp blade.
Without paying attention, his palm was suddenly cut by the blade.
But Amoxi was not surprised, if they could obtain such sophisticated weapons and equipment, and then fight with the men and horses of the Molkhanate again, what was there to be afraid of?
Yes, this transaction, Su Qin has already succeeded.
In the end, the two sides settled on a very large number.
The day after the deal was struck, Amosi left the city of Great Xia and headed for Aratha.
With the full force of Amossi's journey, it took him a total of twelve days to reach the Arata tribal camp from the city of Great Xia.
Looking at Amosi with a happy face, Shinar was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that Great Xia had agreed to send troops.
However, when he entered the camp, he realized that this thing was completely different from what he had thought.
"Great Xia refused to send troops."
With just one sentence, the smile on Shinal's face froze on his face.
At the same time, it was also a little unresponsive.
No, since things haven't been done, why are you still smiling like this?
If it weren't for Amossi's identity, Shinar would have had to whip him a few times.
Looking at Shinal, whose face was obviously not good-looking, Amoxi immediately reacted and told the deal he had reached with Great Xia.
After hearing this, Shinar was not only displeased, but shocked.
"Two thousand sheep, a thousand oxen, five hundred horses? Uncle Amossi, are you crazy! ”
Over the past few years, with the bravery of Shinar, their Aratha tribe has annexed many other steppe tribes, and it can be regarded as regaining some of their former glory.
But even so, such a herd of cattle, sheep and horses is not a small number for the Aratha tribe.
Just listening to it made Shinar feel a pang of flesh pain.
Amossi obviously knew what Shinar was thinking, but he smiled smugly, and then handed Shinar the bronze war knife hanging from his waist in front of Shinard.
"Don't get excited, look at what this is!"
"Isn't it just a knife?"
Looking at the war knife in Amossi's hand, Shinar frowned.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Bronze swords like this are also available in his Aratha tribe, all of which were stolen during the war with the Mor Khanate.
Hearing this, Amothy said, "Look carefully! ”
Seeing Amoxi's cautious look, Shinar patiently turned his gaze to the knife again.
After a careful look, it really made him see a little different.
Compared to the war knife in front of them, the war knives owned by their tribe were very shabby.
But there is no way, they don't have copper ore in their hands, and they don't know how to smelt and forge technology, so there are a number of bronze weapons.
Where it is like Great Xia, every once in a while the weapons of the army will be replaced, and the returned weapons will be recast and made into new weapons, and even agricultural tools.
These are undoubtedly luxuries for the steppe people.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and after taking the knife from Amoxi's hand, he grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand and pulled it out of its scabbard.
The blade of the knife was cold and clear, and a flash of light flashed.
"Good knives!"
There was no need to try at all, and the cold emanating from the blade had already made Shinar clearly aware of the sharpness of this knife.
In Shinal's eyes, the sword was like a stunning beauty, and his palm gently stroked the blade, and then he only felt a pain in his palm.
Only then did he realize that his palm had been cut open by a knife.
Shinar was not angry but happy, and praised loudly: "Haha, a good knife, it is really a good knife!" ”
Then, Shinar looked at Amothy and asked him, "Uncle Amoxi, can every weapon that the Emperor of Great Xia trade with us be of this standard?" ”
"Of course."
As the person who contributed to this incident, Amosi could not hide his pride in his heart at this time.
"The quality of Daxia's weapons is better than the weapons in the hands of that Schwarka guy! As long as all the weapons in exchange are equipped with the soldiers in the tribe, when we have the advantage of weapons, do we need to be afraid of them? ”
For Amossi's words, Shinal agrees with it in his heart.
However, what I said just now also reminded him that these weapons were not given to him for free, and he had to pay a price.
As soon as he thought of this, Shinal couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh.
Looking at Shinard like this, Amosi standing on the side can be said to hate iron but not steel.
"Shenar, why can't your mind turn around? As long as we exchange these weapons and defeat the troops of the Mor Khanate, when the time comes, their cattle, sheep, horses, pastures, and slaves will be ours!? ”
Amossi's words immediately made Shinar react.
That's right!
As long as he defeats the Morkhanate Empire, he doesn't want anything, and what does this loss count?
As soon as he thought of this, Shinar nodded to Amosi and said, "Okay, Uncle Amossi, I agree to this matter!" ”
A deal was officially made at this moment, and the weapons, equipment, food and grass to be traded to the Arata tribe have now arrived in Blue Wolf City one after another.
After the two sides quickly determined a trading location, in order to exchange weapons and food as soon as possible, Shinar personally led a team of steppe cavalry under his command, and rushed to the trading place with cattle, sheep and horses.
And on the side of Great Xia, in order to ensure the smooth transaction, it is also to avoid some unpleasant things from happening.
Xia Qi also sent two generals, Silan and Hawke, to lead a thousand cavalry, with weapons and equipment, grain and grass, to complete the deal with Alata side.
