vs 0498 Unexpectedly out of rhythm
Liu Mu asked again: "Why did you come, isn't it because you saw the changes in the Alinadur tribe." Yes, or not. ”
"Yes. The benefits were tempting, but not enough to make me bend my knees and come back to visit. ”
Hahaha!
After Liu Mu laughed a few times, he turned over and jumped up, and bowed with a Han salute: "Junior Liu Mu greets the Khan." ”
Tu Fan also hugged his chest with Hui Hui's etiquette: "Hui Tu Mi, say hello to the Tang Dynasty." ”
Tumidu reached out and grabbed Liu Mu's hand: "I believe even more, if you sit here and wait for me to come, you have enough benefits for me to bend my knees to you." ”
"No, you're wrong. As the Great Khan of the Hui Dynasty, there is only one person in the world who can make you bend your knees. After Liu Mu replied very seriously, Tu Midu smiled coldly: "If you say Jieli Khan, he is not qualified enough." ”
"I'm talking about my Tang Emperor."
"Then, bring out your temptation."
"Please!" Willow gestured to the carpet and waved the luthier away. Tumidu still didn't let go of the hand that was holding Liu Mu's arm, and also replied: "Please!" ”
The two sat down, and Liu Mu pushed a bamboo tube in front of Tumidu: "This is the basis for us to sit down and talk." ”
Tu Fan opened it, and nodded after seeing that it was salt: "There is sincerity." ”
Liu Mu pushed a paper bag in front of Tumidu: "This is the reason why Hui and Datang are not enemies." ”
Inside the paper bag is brick tea, which is a scarce material for the Hui Dynasty, and Tumidu can come here in the hope of opening trade routes.
The Uighur tribe was further north of the Jieli forces, and the Uighurs fed on meat all day long, and there was no way to live without tea. In modern terms, eating meat alone will definitely affect the digestive system, but tea can solve this problem, tea can provide the vitamins that the body needs. Therefore, tea is a necessity that is as important as salt in the grassland.
"How much tea we can have each year, we can exchange sheep and wool."
The wool trade is no longer a secret, and the demand for wool in Datang can be said to be known to everyone in the entire grassland, and Jieli also knows it. But Jieli's wool can't be turned into money, and it can't be turned into Datang's goods.
"How much tea is enough, to ensure that every family in your tribe can brew milk tea every day, I don't know if it's enough."
"Sincerely." Tu Midu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Before he received the invitation, he had discussed among the tribes that the most basic condition for cooperation with Datang was to ensure the trade volume of tea and salt in Datang. and to buy their wool and sheep.
Liu Mu opened the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Tu Midu: "From here, it is 10,000 miles to the south." I went to Lingnan on purpose and stayed in Lingnan for a year, just for today's meeting, I need a year to make full preparations. ”
"Ten thousand miles south, for today?" The confusion in his heart is getting more and more confused.
Judging from Yanagiki's attitude, it seems that the plan is big.
Liu Mu stretched out his hand and brought an iron cylinder from the side, this iron cylinder weighed ten pounds with the contents of the tube, and in front of the Tu Mi degree, Liu Mu opened the iron cylinder, took out a bowl from the inside and handed it to Tu Midu.
After soaking it, he reached out and picked up a slice of orange and put it in his mouth.
"What is this, very ...... Delicious. ”
"This is the citrus of the south, which is packed in this iron cylinder in a special way, and can be preserved for almost half a year. I've spent a lot of coins and I've had a lot of people continue to work on how to keep them longer. Of course, these are just snacks, and that's what I'm really preparing in Lingnan. ”
Liu Mu took a wooden box one foot long, six inches long, and three inches wide and three inches thick from the side and placed it on the low table.
Just as Liu Mu was about to open the wooden box, Tumidu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wooden box: "Let's talk about this first, how much money do you want for this tube, such a thing has never been seen on the grassland." I like it, very, very much. ”
"Ahh Liu Mu was very surprised, this thing was originally intended to please Tu Midu to taste fresh.
The territory of the Hui is very far north, and they have heard of what fruit is, but only the top nobles can occasionally eat some preserved fruits, and they have been left for a long time.
For them, fresh fruits may not have the opportunity to eat them.
Liu Mu clapped his hands lightly a few times, and a maid appeared in the distance, and Liu Mu ordered: "Go and open the canned Lingnan fruits we brought over, and send a small bowl of each of them, and the rest of the banquet will be entertained by the retinue of Tumidu Khan." ”
The maid bent back slightly.
In a few moments, a dozen small bowls and two low tables were placed on the carpet.
Tumidu actually ate all the more than a dozen small bowls of fruit, and then asked: "Tell me, how much does this cost, your Datang coins." ”
"I didn't think about it, the production of this thing is very low, and it is very laborious to transport it from 10,000 miles away, so what is left is ready for me to eat. Since you want this, I'll send someone to calculate it, and then negotiate a price with you. Yanagi explained to Tumi.
Tumidu demanded: "You can arrange someone to account now, and I will buy a lot, a lot." We have sheep, we have knives. ”
"Alas!" Liu Mu patted the door of his head lightly: "You completely disrupted my plan. ”
Tumidu asked, "What was your original plan?" ”
Liu Mu put the wooden box back on the low table: "It's this, I spent a year preparing it for a year to go to Lingnan." For you, it's salt, tea, and this. ”
"What is this?" Curious, he picked up a dried leaf.
Liu Mu's mood was completely disrupted, and he called Gao Cheng over, and let Gao Cheng spend a full hour explaining to Tumidu what spices are, the importance of spices to life, and why spices can become indispensable necessities for the grassland along with salt and tea.
"I don't believe it. These dried fruits, leaves, wood flakes, and bark are things that cannot be missing. ”
I can't understand what spices are.
"It's very simple, let's cook mutton. Just let your people cook it, and you have to cook it if you only cut people and don't cook meat, and add different spices, as I said. Tomorrow night, we'll talk about this spice again. ”
After listening to Liu Mu's proposal, Tumidu nodded: "You're right, I still believe in you." If you can travel 10,000 miles to prepare these things, then it may be very important. Try it now, but tomorrow night, you're going to give me the price of those cans, and I'm going to buy them. ”
"Good, good!" Yanagi handed over the work to Taka.
Tumidu immediately ordered people to kill the sheep, and then began to try whether the spice was really magical.
