Chapter 156: Vigilant Eyes
There is no greeting, no singing and dancing, a large number of strangers appear in their homes, and the best way to deal with them is to be swords and guns. The first Qiang man I met was an old man with a leather whip and riding on a horse. The wind and frost of the years left deep marks on his face, and in the face of such a large caravan, the old Qiang people were not afraid, and stood alone in the middle of the road, protecting the sheep behind him.
The mountain bandits let out strange screams and habitually rushed at the fleeing sheep in all directions, their eyes full of greed and plunder. The old fox said something to Sun Er Mazi, and Sun Er Mazi ran over and punched and kicked him, which stopped the robbers who wanted to grab a handful.
There is no need to look for an interpreter, there are Qiang people in the mountain bandits, the guy ran over and explained to the old Qiang people for a long time, and the old Qiang people still had vigilant eyes, staring at the caravan and slowly turning around and driving their sheep away.
The Yellow Sheep tribe is the Qiang tribe closest to Yuanshan. The news of the arrival of the Han caravan was like the wind on the steppe, and it soon blew in all directions. The leader of the Yellow Sheep tribe, Riwu Buji, is an authentic pioneer Lingqiang, who occupies the fattest pastures under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and has the most cattle and sheep. Because of their proximity to the Han land, the Huangyang tribe can be supplemented by the Han land every winter, allowing them to live better than other Qiang people.
"You mean, there's a big group of businessmen here?" Riwu Buji shook his white beard and looked at his sturdy son Ke Muzhi with a smile.
He had three sons, the eldest of whom was a warrior of the clan. The second son, Vala, was the smartest man in the tribe of the Dukes. The third son, Ke Muzhi, is most like himself. Having such three sons made Riwu Buji very proud, and he believed that after his death, the Yellow Sheep tribe would still be the largest tribe on the grassland, and they would continue to gallop through this grassland.
Ke Muzhi nodded, and stabbed his good partner with the whip in his hand to provoke Zhenbo's weakness. Jalan Zhenbo hurriedly said: "It's the leader of the capital, the caravan is very large, there are more than a hundred mules and horses, and a lot of goods are carried, those people said that they are from the Han land, and they are here to do business, but they are just ......"
"Father, let me take someone to see it, right?" Ke Muzhi hurriedly interrupted Zhen Bo: "I will definitely exchange all the things of those Han people at the lowest price." ”
"Haha...... "Zhawaki laughed twice: "Have you all been to see it?" Provoke Zhenbo, you say, what's wrong? ”
Jalan Zhenbo knew that he had missed his mouth, so he turned his head and glanced at Ke Muzhi embarrassedly. didn't dare to disobey the patriarch's order, and stammered: "Those Han people have a large number of guards, let me see that those guards are more like robbers." ”
"Oh?" Riwu Buji's face was straight: "Did they attack my herdsmen?" ”
Ke Muzhi hurriedly shook his head: "No, those Han people are very obedient, they just roam the grassland and sell their goods to the herdsmen, but the herdsmen did not get their father's permission and did not trade with the Han people." ”
Vala glanced at Žibuki: "Father, it can't be someone from the mountains who came out, right?" ”
Without waiting for Riwu Buji to answer, Ke Muzhi immediately said again: "No, it's the Han people, they say it's from the Han Dynasty!" ”
As soon as Riwu Buji raised his hand, several sons hurriedly stopped their mouths, and thought for a long time: "No matter where these people come from, without my consent, no one is allowed to trade with them, send someone to watch them, see what they are going to do, if it is really those people in the mountains, then don't blame me for being unkind, let them be arrogant for so many years, it's time to settle accounts." ”
"Lai Kesen, you prepare our brave warriors, if there is anything wrong with those people, attack immediately, and you Ke Muzhi, you don't need to go to the Han caravan again, provoke Zhenbo to be optimistic about your master, if he comes into contact with those Han people again, I will pick your skin."
"Oh!" Ke Muzhi looked aggrieved and unwilling.
"Yes!" Jalan Zhenbo hurriedly knelt on the ground, promising that he would take care of his little master.
Out of the leader's tent, Ke Muzhi turned over and got on his horse, and ran wildly along the vast grassland with Jalan Zhenbo, venting the anger and grievances in his chest, and then slowed down the horse, allowing his red horse to bow his head and nibble on the grass shoots that had just grown.
"It's all your fault, if it weren't for your talking, my father wouldn't have forbade me to come into contact with those Han people."
Jake Zhenbo helplessly lowered his head and didn't speak. He and the third son of the leader were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and Riwubuki thought that this was a gift from God to his tribe, so he made Jalan Zhenbo the retinue of his youngest son Ke Muzhi. The two grew up eating, sleeping, and playing together. Speaking of the relationship between the two of them, it is much better than Ke Muzhi and his two elder brothers.
raised his hand and whipped Zhenbo: "What do you say?" The porcelain bowl that the Han people drank tea was very beautiful, and I knew that I had exchanged it for a horse yesterday, and now I can't go again. ”
"If you don't go, you won't go, that porcelain bowl can't be eaten, and it takes a long time for a horse to grow up from a foal." Jalan Zhenbo felt that the cost-effective business that Ke Muzhi said was not cost-effective at all.
"What do you know? If you give him to your father, your father will like it. Ke Muzhi thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, let's go secretly, right?" After changing it back, it said that we changed it yesterday. ”
"This!" Zhen Bo was a little embarrassed: "If I let the leader know, he will really kill me!" ”
"Haha, don't worry, no, there is me! Drive! Ke Muzhi thought of it and did it, and urged the red horse under his crotch, and the red horse rushed out like an arrow. Jalan Zhenbo hurriedly followed.
Su Ren looked up at the endless grassland, and his mood was very comfortable. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and there are herds of cattle and horses. In the Qiang people, these things are just grain, and if they are transported to the Han Dynasty, they will be a hundred times the profit. The Han lacks horses, and even less cattle. According to the law, anyone who eats cattle and horses will be spanked, and in severe cases, they will be killed.
Stretched, felt the cool air, reclined on the grass that had just returned to green, and looked up at the eagle circling: "Little gold, pour me a cup of tea." ”
Hawking didn't come, but Sun Er Mazi came, and sat next to Su Ren: "Boy, didn't you say that the goods you brought are what the Qiang people need the most?" It's been a few days, and not a single one has been sold. ”
"Don't worry, the market needs to be explored, this is Qiangdi, we are strangers, there must be a familiar process."
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Su Ren stood up and looked over. In the distance, two horses were running quickly towards this direction, one red and one black, both of them were fine Qiang horses, and two young knights sat at once.
Su Ren glanced at Sun Er Mazi, and then got up: "Business is here!" Little gold, prepare tables and chairs, guests have arrived! ”
Ke Muzhi jumped down from the galloping horse, and looked at the surrounding bandits and guards with envy. Ke Muzhi laughed: "Han businessman, I'm here again." ”
This guy can speak Chinese, which impresses Su Ren. Hurriedly got up and saluted: "Please, sit here!" ”
Around the boxy table of the Eight Immortals is placed the Taishi chair. Ke Muzhi saw this thing for the first time, and he was surprised and stretched out his hand to rub it continuously. In the mahogany tray on the table was a teapot and four tea bowls, all of which were snow-white and not a little variegated.
Su Ren poured Ke Muzhi a glass of water, and another cup for Yan Zhenbo, and said with a smile: "Sit down!" Childe went and returned, presumably he really liked this set of tea sets, if Childe really wanted it today, I could give Childe a cheaper price. ”
"It turned out to be a set!" Ke Muzhi looked at the teapots and teacups placed together, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
Su Ren nodded: "Teapots, teacups, trays, tables and chairs are this a set, if the son likes it, ten horses will be sold to the son!" ”
"What? Ten horses? Is this worth ten horses? "Provoked Zhenbo to be angry, he didn't want others to treat his little master as a wronged leader.
Su Ren said with a smile: "All the things here add up to more than ten, I only accept ten horses is already a discount, Childe must know, this thing is also a rare thing in our Han, not to mention the thousands of miles to transport to Qiangdi, ten cattle and horses are nothing to you, you are my first customer, I only give such a cheap price, if it is someone else, there are no twenty horses don't want to talk to me." ”
"Hahaha!" Ke Muzhi laughed and waved his hand to stop the impulse to provoke Zhenbo: "Ten horses are indeed not expensive, you Han people's things are exquisite, just ten horses, I bought them!" ”
"Master!"
Ke Muzhi ordered: "Jalan Zhenbo, you go back now, and send someone to send ten horses." ”
Jalan Zhenbo stood still, his face turned from red to blue, looking at what Ke Muzhi wanted to say, but he was afraid of losing his master's face, so he held back for a long time, and could only talk about murderous eyes to Su Ren.
Su Ren looked at the two of them and smiled: "Childe don't worry, my words haven't been finished yet, if Childe can introduce me to the leader of the Yellow Sheep Tribe, I am willing to give these things with both hands, not a single horse." ”
"Huh!" Ke Muzhi smiled and glanced at Zhen Bo: "Really? Why did you want to meet the leader of the Yellow Sheep tribe, how did you know that I could be referred? ”
Su Ren said: "Gongzi doesn't need to hide it, this grassland is owned by the Yellow Sheep Tribe, who doesn't know Ke Muzhi Gongzi here, since I want to do business here, I need to get the consent of the chief, I am a good businessman, I am willing to pay taxes for the goods this time, whether it is grain or linen, as long as the leader agrees with me to do business, everything is easy to say." ”
"At the same time, I hope that Gongzi will tell the chief, I am here to do business, and the elite soldiers gathered in the col over there should not be stranded, spring has come, it is a good time for grazing, don't delay the herdsmen's harvest for a year because of our arrival."
"Ugh!" Ke Muzhi's face flushed. His father Riwu was very calculating, but he didn't know that everything was under the control of others, and he was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, Mr. is really a wonderful person, in that case, I will definitely bring these words." ”
"Thank you, Childe!" Su Ren smiled: "Come on, pack these things and let Ke Mu Zhi Gongzi take them back." ”
