Chapter 61: The Prairie Caravan
As soon as Qin Yu arrived at the door, he heard the middle-aged man talking.
He didn't care so much, just went around to him and sat down by the fire.
"Mr. is from the Western Regions, I don't know which country?"
The middle-aged man's face softened slightly.
"Dawan Kingdom!"
"I'm really just a merchant, my caravan has been doing business in the steppe for twenty years, if you don't believe me, just ask a random tribe and find out."
Qin Yu suddenly became interested, picked up the roasted sweet potato by the stove and handed it over.
"I wonder what you're doing on the grasslands?"
The middle-aged man sneezed and took out the account book he had with him.
"There is a shortage of everything on the grassland, and the herdsmen have no gold or silver in their hands, so we only need to put out the goods in exchange for their cattle, sheep, furs and other things, and then take them to the Central Plains to sell."
Qin Yu suddenly became excited, got up directly, and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder heavily.
"It's great, I just don't have a caravan under my command!"
"Since you are here, it must have been arranged by God."
"It's better to stay here, and when the spring of next year begins, this prince will send more people to do business with you on the grassland, which is definitely much bigger than what you do now."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, staring at Qin Yu with a surprised gaze.
"The herders on the grasslands are poor, and it's not easy to earn money from them."
"I've been laughed at by my peers since the day I started doing business, why are you still in a hurry to do it?"
Qin Yu didn't care so much, and immediately asked people to bring the hot pot up.
"The weather is too cold, when Ben Shizi came over just now, he saw that many of your subordinates were frozen, and he had already sent them down to recuperate."
"I just don't know the name of Mr.?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, I'm just a flat-headed commoner." ”
"If the prince doesn't dislike it, you can call me Hanhai directly!"
Qin Yu respectfully sent the wine glass to Hanhai.
"Mr. Hanhai, you don't know how much you have earned by doing business all the way here?"
Hanhai sighed helplessly.
"The grasslands are too big, the herders are too poor, and if you want to make a profit, you have to accumulate a lot, and you can't immediately exchange it for money."
"This time, I made a lot of money, and I got a lot of jade and cattle and sheep, but I encountered a blizzard on the way here, and the cattle and sheep ran away, leaving only two truckloads of jade."
Qin Yu slapped the table violently.
"That's why Mr. Hanhai needs a strong caravan even more!"
Speaking of this, Hanhai unconsciously raised his eyebrows, as if this was the truth.
Without waiting for him to speak, Qin Yu walked to the map hanging next to him.
"The vast grasslands are very profitable, and all the herders lack are some basic things, nothing more than pots and pans."
"If we can get these things to the herders, maybe we can get more cattle and sheep."
There was a hint of surprise on Hanhai's face.
"Shizi did business in the grassland? How do you know so much about what the herders lack? ”
Qin Yu smiled and waved his hand: "I just heard about it." ”
While he was talking, several guards ran into the lobby in a bit of a panic.
"Shizi, in the mountains and forests to the east, a group of wild people suddenly appeared and dug up the yellow sheep that we were frozen there."
Hearing the news, Qin Yu immediately became angry, those yellow sheep were one of the grains he left here for the winter.
"Where did the wildlings come from?"
One of the guards hurriedly took out a small piece of cloth from his body and handed it over.
"It's a group of Luochun people living here!"
"They are a bunch of uncivilized savages, and every time before winter, they hunt reindeer or yellow sheep in the mountains and forests!"
"But this time, I don't know what's going on, and I actually came to rob us."
Qin Yu didn't care so much, he immediately got up and wanted to gather an army to snatch the yellow sheep back.
"Shizi!" Wei Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Although the Luochun people are all civilized people, they are also local aborigines, and it is really inappropriate to exterminate them because of a few yellow sheep."
"Besides, these yellow sheep we brought may be the rations they use to survive the winter."
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "According to what you mean, or is ours not?" ”
Wei Zhang didn't know what to do, and just as he was about to continue to persuade him, Qin Yu suddenly changed his temper.
"In this way, it is indeed our fault!"
"General Wei, you have to have more than 100 people, bring enough cotton clothes and food, let's go."
As he spoke, he went straight to the gate of Datang, but pointed to Hanhai when he left.
"You must serve Mr. Hanhai well, or I will ask you."
Everyone didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and responded at the same time.
In the dense mountain forest, several extremely rugged men tore a yellow sheep to pieces.
"I really didn't expect that there are so many yellow sheep hidden under the ice and snow, and there will be no more starvation this winter."
"Patriarch, I still think something is wrong, those yellow sheep are neatly placed under the ice and snow, it is obvious that they were stored there in advance, if we take them away, then won't the others starve?"
"What do you care so much about? The yellow sheep here were originally given to us by the Immortal Heaven, why did they arrest them all? ”
……
Just as everyone was arguing, a younger man came to him in a panic.
"Patriarch, something is wrong, there is a group of people coming over here, and they look very powerful."
The middle-aged man at the head immediately got up, picked up the axe at hand and walked out quickly.
Before he could see the situation outside the mountains and forests, a war horse galloped over, and Fang Tian's halberd directly penetrated the big tree beside him.
"Leader Twilight, we haven't seen each other in a long time, have we?"
When Twilight Chun saw Wei Zhang, her body trembled unconsciously.
"It turned out to be the Tenjin General! I don't know what you're doing here? ”
Wei Zhang pulled out Fang Tian's halberd and pointed at the yellow sheep on the ground.
"These things are all stored by my family and the prince for winter rations, but I didn't expect them to be stolen by you guys."
Twilight Chun's eyes widened suddenly, he never dreamed that these yellow sheep turned out to be Wei Zhang's.
"Damn it, we took your stuff, but we haven't caught much prey this year, and some people are already starving to death."
"Or else? What do you like in our clan, but can you keep a few of these yellow sheep for us? ”
Wei Zhang carried Fang Tian's halberd on his shoulder.
"I can't do this kind of thing, I have to have the final say in my family."
As he spoke, Qin Yu was already riding a horse and came to him surrounded by everyone.
