In fact, long before Lu An decided to make snowflake salt, he knew that sulfur was the most common source of Turkic!

It's just that, as Shaporo Khan said, sulfur is an extremely important strategic material for any country and power, and it is easy not to trade in large quantities.

Especially at the moment, Lu An still represents the forces of Chuyin in Jiangnan, and Shaporo Khan is even more cautious.

Although the alabaster salt was attractive enough to these Turks, it was not so easy for them to exchange it for sulfur.

Therefore, Lu An deliberately mentioned Donghu!

Donghu, located in the area of Changbai Mountain, not only has rich sulfur resources, but also has a large amount of sulfur trading with the island country across the sea, and the sulfur stock is quite rich.

Moreover, even the sulfur used by the Turks was also mostly obtained from the Donghu trade.

Once he was able to get a large amount of sulphur trade from the Turks, then he would no longer have to worry about the rubber business.

But...... It is not so easy to convince Shaporo Khan to make a brimstone deal with him!

The only thing that made him feel a little hope was that although the chiefs of the Turkic tribes in the tent belonged to the Shaporo Khan, in fact, the entire Turkic tribe still belonged to the tribal alliance system!

Since it is a tribal federation system, it means that the Turkic tribes have quite loose autonomy.

For example, the Gu Yan Ministry, in addition to paying some taxes every year, and then obeying the Shaporo Khan's possible conscription and foreign war, in addition, the Gu Yan Ministry's other matters can be decided by themselves.

Therefore, as long as one or two gaps were found in the loose tribal alliance system of the Turks, it was not difficult to get a sufficient amount of sulfur.

Lu An didn't show too much eagerness, but the patriarchs of the tribes in the tent were anxious.

With the first patriarch opening, more and more patriarchs also showed great interest.

Hearing the statements of the patriarchs, Shaporo Khan lowered his head, frowned slightly, and remained silent for a long time.

Just then, Ruma spoke.

"Don't worry about this, didn't we have an agreement before?

After you and I get married, my father Khan will send troops to march west with General Pu, as long as the power of the Qisi Department in Hexi and the Western Regions is pulled out, the trade routes in Hexi will naturally be unimpeded.

At that time, the horse thought that he could buy as much sulfur as he wanted in the Western Regions, and it shouldn't have much impact on the production of snowflake salt, right? ”

Lu An said with a straight face when he heard this, "What the princess said is very true, but if the production of snowflake salt stops for one day, the loss will be not small, and I can only hope that you can calm down the beggar department as soon as possible and restore the Hexi trade road." ”

Shaporo Khan smiled heartily at this time, "At this point, the virtuous son-in-law can rest assured, tomorrow Ben Khan will order troops to march west, presumably General Pu's side, there should be no problem, right?" ”

Pu Zhen arched his hand and said, "There is an agreement, Pu will go happily and help the Great Khan to calm the begging department!" ”

"Hehe, that's a lot easier." Lu An immediately smiled and said, "When the rebellion of the Qisi Department is put down and the Hexi trade road is restored, in a year at most, our snowflake salt business will definitely resume production."

At that time, the son-in-law will definitely give priority to the supply to the father-in-law, of course, if the patriarchs of each tribe are interested, they can also trade with Lu at that time. ”

"Okay, this matter is settled, come, everyone drink to your heart's content, and toast to the wedding of my son Erma and the virtuous son-in-law!"

Shaporo Khan raised his bowl and laughed happily.

The patriarchs in the tent also raised their wine bowls, but most of the patriarchs' smiles were far-fetched......

For Shaporo Khan, it not only solved Lu'an's problem, but also strengthened the military ties with Pu Zhen, so naturally everyone was happy, and he also had the opportunity to enjoy Lu'an's snowflake salt, so why not do it?

It's just that beside Lu An, a trace of melancholy still flashed between Erma's eyebrows, and she glanced at Lu An next to her from time to time, and wanted to chat with him several times, but finally endured it again.

It's really because she always felt that Lu An seemed to mean something else when he mentioned sulfur......

After all, sulfur is a substance that is very important, and Lu An's identity is ......

It's just that in this current atmosphere, she can't be allowed to think too much, so as not to spoil the atmosphere or cause Lu An's unhappiness, so she temporarily forbears.

Inside and outside the big tent, the atmosphere was cheerful and harmonious, Lu An sometimes teased Hai'er in his arms, and sometimes whispered a few words to Ah Wu next to him, and Ah Wu nodded again and again.

In the evening, Shaporo Khan came out with all the people in the tent and participated in a large bonfire with the soldiers and civilians outside the tent.

At the scene of a huge bonfire with a radius of more than 20 meters, countless soldiers and civilians danced happily, Erma, Lu An, Mu Lingfeng, Ashima, Ah Wu, Pu Zhen and so on all danced together, all with cheerful smiles on their faces.

As the protagonists of this grand event, Lu An and Erma were surrounded by a group of people in the middle.

Around Erma, in addition to Ashima, there is also a group of girls of all colors.

As for Lu An's side, he was surrounded by more than 20 patriarchs of various tribes, all with smiling faces, and they started a relationship.

And this scene was expected by Lu An.

Long before they came out, the expressions of these patriarchs had already fallen in Lu An's eyes, and they naturally understood their true intentions of deliberately getting closer.

As expected, after the kind words, some patriarchs couldn't help but whisper, "Master Horse, our Koro tribe has enough sulfur, if Lord Horse is interested, I can send someone to send some at any time, how about trading with Master Horse?" ”

"Master Horse, our Packang tribe is close to Donghu, and we often trade sulfur with them, and there are quite a few of them, as long as Lord Horse is willing to give priority to trading snowflake salt with us, I can send someone back immediately, and send you two hundred catties of sulfur to show my sincerity, you see ......"

Although these tribal patriarchs spoke in a loud voice, as if they were deliberately trying to avoid the others, Lu An disappointed them.

"Huh."

Lu An looked half-drunk and half-awake, laughed heartily, and patted one of the patriarchs on the shoulder enthusiastically, "Patriarch Longmodo has a heart, as long as there is enough supply of sulfur, our snowflake salt can accelerate production at any time, and meet the needs of all patriarchs, there is absolutely no problem!"

It's just that now these things have been handed over to Ashima and Ah Wu of the Gu Yan tribe, if the patriarchs are interested, you can discuss with Ah Wu, and you can go to Ah Wu to do the specific transaction. ”

When the patriarchs around Lu An heard this, they smiled awkwardly, and then focused their eyes on Ah Wu, and gradually leaned towards Ah Wu.

"Brother A, I don't know what the price of the snowflake salt of the master of the horse is if it is traded for sulfur?"

"My son-in-law said that it can be exchanged at half of the market price, for example, one catty of sulfur can be exchanged for eight catties of snowflake salt."

"Really? Sold ......"

On the main seat, Shaporo Khan also noticed the movement around Lu An, his face was slightly ugly, and he subconsciously glanced at Erma.

Erma sighed and shook her head at Shaporo Khan.

Although he was deeply suspicious of Lu An's intention to collect sulfur, however, the two sides had just reached an alliance, and once it caused unnecessary misunderstandings, no matter which side it was, it would not be of any benefit at all!

Shaporo Khan quickly figured out the joints, shook his head secretly, and then beckoned, and called Lu An to his side.

"Virtuous son-in-law, although Ben Khan doesn't have much sulfur here, but in order for you to produce snowflake salt smoothly, Ben Khan can squeeze out 5,000 catties of sulfur first, you see......"

Five thousand pounds?!

When Lu An heard this, he woke up most of the time in an instant!

He didn't expect that this trick played in front of Shaporo Khan and Erma would have such a big gain!

Now, his rubber products can finally be promoted!
