Chapter 443: The Chir Tribe
The main task of going deep into the North Dome this time was to sell glass, but in order to open the market of the North Dome, the goods they brought with them were not only glass, but also various grain, oil, wine, salt and other materials.
Although many small tribes are rare glass bullets, most of the salt and wine they buy are relatively scarce, and only a small number of tribes choose to buy glasses.
Just now, those soldiers came up to inspect the supplies, and it was only when they saw the salt and wine that they were so satisfied.
Ren Donghao took the initiative to explain to Zhang Xifan: "Those soldiers have already gone to find their leader, let's move the goods to the middle for you first, and they will come over to choose later, don't worry, although I haven't been to the Qier tribe, I have also heard that this place has a good reputation, and I won't rob merchants."
He looked at Zhang Xifan and the people behind Zhang Xifan, and continued, "If they don't want to buy it later, you can also move the goods back."
He whispered into Zhang Xifan's ear and said, "Those Liuli other small tribes can't afford it, but the leader of this Qier tribe can definitely afford it, and it should be able to sell a lot."
Zhang Xifan smiled, of course he knew that the leader of the Chier tribe could afford glass, and the small tribes in front of him were all small dishes, and the Qier tribe that could afford to raise so many horses should be their goal.
Although the Chir tribe is only a medium-sized tribe, he has a special identity, and he is related to the current Northern Dome royal family.
can be regarded as a declining nobleman, only such a person will have more appeal after getting the glass wolf, and can shake the hearts of the people of the northern dome even more.
Hearing that a caravan had come, not only did they bring the wine and salt they needed, but it didn't take long for the leader of the Qier tribe to entertain Zhang Xifan and his party into the tent.
The leader of the Qier tribe kept looking at Zhang Xifan and his party, and asked tentatively, "Where did you come from the caravan, why have you never seen it before?"
After Ren Donghao's translation, Zhang Xifan smiled at the leader of the Qier tribe and said, "So that the leader knows that we were only doing business in the Central Plains, and we only learned about this trade route in Beiqiong through introduction."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xifan added, "By the way, the person who introduced us to Beiqiong to do business was the shopkeeper of a Zhou firm, and it took a lot of money to learn about this business route."
Ren Donghao translated back as it was,
After hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of the leader of the Qier tribe, the Zhou clan was one of the several major families in the Central Plains.
It is also the Central Plains family that is most closely related to the North Firm, and many caravans on the North Qiong Grassland are Zhou's, Zhang Xifan said that he was introduced by the shopkeeper of the Zhou firm, and he believed it a little.
"Then why didn't you come with the Zhou Firm?"
Ren Donghao continued to translate.
Zhang Xifan said comfortably: "The Zhou family travels once every three months, and there is still a month before they trade next month, and the people under my command are waiting for dinner, and they can't wait, so they came first."
The other party was able to tell the rules of the Zhou family's merchants, and the leader of the Qier tribe believed it a little.
But he didn't fully trust the group on the other side, after all, this information could be collected everywhere.
"I heard that in addition to wine and salt, you also brought a lot of precious glass this time?" The leader of the Chir tribe took the initiative.
Zhang Xifan replied with a smile: "That's right, I heard that you are a nobleman of the North Dome, and the nobles naturally want to match the best, and we have specially brought you these goods this time, you can choose them later."
Ren Donghao translated in time.
"Very well, then let me see the glass you brought."
Then the group came to the center of the tent, and all the goods brought by Zhang Xifan and his party were placed in the center.
In addition to the grain and oil that had been sold, there was still a lot of salt and wine, and the main commodity, glass.
At first glance, the leader of the Chir tribe was attracted by the various shaped glass placed in the center.
Not only him, but the entire tribe of Chir was attracted by the glass that glittered in the sun's rays, and greed flashed in their eyes.
The hand of the Chir tribe
His eyes narrowed, and he walked straight in, reaching out and picking up a glass full of shape.
"This is for drinking?"
After the translation, Zhang Xifan replied, "That's right, you can use it for wine, you can also use it for tea."
Zhang Xifan casually picked up a glass bottle with a cork and introduced: "Like this kind of glass bottle, it can also be used to carry some precious wine, and after the wine is loaded, you can clearly see the appearance of the wine, which is the most suitable for entertaining distinguished guests."
The eyes of the leader of the Thir tribe flashed with greed, "These glasses aren't cheap, are they?"
Zhang Xifan smiled and said, "These colored glasses were also obtained by chance, and the price is naturally very expensive, but we can accept transactions other than gold and silver."
"In other words, if your tribe does not have gold, silver, and jade, it can also trade with furs and cattle, sheep and horses."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xifan added, "Wool is also fine."
The leader of the Qier tribe looked at Zhang Xifan in disbelief, "Wool is also okay?" He repeated.
Zhang Xifan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, as long as you send someone to shear and collect those wools, you can also exchange them."
He pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want wool for?"
Zhang Xifan doesn't know what these wools can be done when they are sheared? It's sour and smelly, but Master Ning has explained it like this, and he can only do it.
"Some people in the Central Plains like to use wool to make wool blankets, and we can collect them on the grassland and sell them back to the Central Plains to earn some silver."
It is true that some people will use wool to make wool blankets, but those wool blankets are used to step on the ground, and not many people use them, after all, everyone can't stand the smell of sheep.
The leader of the Qier tribe didn't know much about the affairs of the Central Plains, and as soon as Zhang Xifan explained it, he was somewhat convinced.
Even in their hearts, they despise the things that the grassland people don't want, these Central Plains people treat them as treasures one by one.
If wool could be traded, it would be much easier.
"My tribe has a lot of sheep, but how do you calculate the price?"
The next thing was a bargain, the leader of the Qier tribe knew that the wool was of little use to them, but since the people of the Central Plains found it useful, he didn't want to sell it cheaply.
Zhang Xifan's purpose was not to do the fur business, the fur business was just incidental, and he didn't fight too much, giving a lot of benefits to the leader of the Chir tribe.
Finally both parties were smiling, and after the price was determined, the leader of the Chir tribe began to select the goods.
In addition to the necessary wine and salt, he also picked out a lot of glasses and bowls.
