Chapter 195: Further Cooperation
"Of course, it's good...... By the way, this is a gift from Aqiaoli to you! ”
The half-breed barbarian lady took out a stone from her bosom that could be grasped in the palm of a child's hand, and placed it in front of Dean - the material of the stone itself, because it was surrounded by colorful colors, Dean couldn't see it at all, but the beautiful color made the whole stone look beautiful.
Such a beautiful stone can undoubtedly attract the attention of some children.
Thinking about the current age of the Northland beast tamer, Dean immediately understood what was going on, but Dean still said sincerely, "Thank you! ”
A child can give you his most beloved things, which may not be of any value in the eyes of adults, but in the child's heart, this thing is priceless.
When I got such a 'priceless treasure', I naturally want to sincerely say thank you.
Seeing Dean formally take the colorful stone in his arms, Tuckery couldn't help but laugh.
Undoubtedly, Dean's subconscious behavior won the favor of this half-breed barbarian lady.
Of course, it's more about building on the previous blow.
If, before Dean was knocked to the ground and vomited blood, no matter how sincere Dean was, it would have had little effect—for the barbarian race, strength is almost a qiē, and ancestral tradition is fundamental.
Based on tradition and advanced strength, this has become the law of the barbarians.
However, the vast majority of jade people can't stand it.
Naturally, Dean is definitely not one of them-
"My shop pù after I was knighted. One of the rewards received. As for a long time to come. My main source of income is and I want to make it better...... So, Ms. Tuckery, can you work with me? ”
Dean said with an honest look.
"Cooperation? How to cooperate? ”
Takri was stunned.
"I am willing to buy the skins and herbs collected by you and your stockade at a fair price, of course, according to the rules of the barbarians. Bartering is also possible! ”
Dean said simply.
"This, this ......"
The half-blood barbarian lady, who has always been straightforward, is rarely swallowed in the face of such a question.
"Takri can't be the master, she has to consult the patriarch and a few elders before she can decide!" Bu Gong, who had been drinking wine on the side, raised his head and said, "Of course, I am different from her, I am the patriarch of my own clan, my brother, let's cooperate!" I also have quite a few skins and herbs here...... Merely. The price offered by those merchants was too low for me to accept! ”
"Absolutely!"
Dean nodded very happily.
In fact. The purchase of skins and herbs, whether it starts with the cloth or from the Chiktor, does not matter.
For, Dean, believing that, as long as he gives enough good, then the other, more barbarian colonies will join in; After all, barbarians are also people, although they have traditions left by their ancestors, but they also need to dress and eat, what is the difference between them and the Emerald people in some places?
The simplest thing is that in the snowy forest, once winter arrives in the real sense, the prey will be scarce in an instant, and the barbarians who live by hunting, every winter is a grind, and many people can't survive it at all - most of the barbarian bandits who appear are also for this reason.
If he had come up with enough food, barbarians would naturally come to his door.
Later, as the time of the relationship between the two sides passed, Dean was confident that he would tie the barbarians in the entire snowfield forest to his chariot.
Of course, some of these details still need to be considered.
The first is the explanation of the Marquis of Vauban - the purchase of grain is enough to make any lord and county king worried.
That was for later, though.
Now Dean only needs to 'take care' of a village with a population of more than 100 in Bugong.
Naturally, this is not a problem for Dean.
"I can evaluate these herbs, but Pizi, I need to find someone to come!"
After Dean nodded, he couldn't wait to pull Dean into the warehouse of the stockade, looking at the piles of skins and herbs, Dean carefully distinguished the herbs, and then, nodded again-these herbs have obviously been properly processed, although they are not perfect, but synthetic medicines, flavors, and the like are more than enough.
"No problem, so how much food can I exchange for these herbs?"
Bu Gong waved his hand and asked directly, pointing straight at the herb.
"According to the market value of these herbs, it can be exchanged for about 500 kilograms of grain, but I need to have 20% of the income and 10% of the transportation loss, so I can only give you about 350 kilograms of grain!"
Dean did the math carefully, and then he said the result directly.
During this period, there was not the slightest concealment and deception.
Dean is very clear about how to deal with the barbarians - concealing it will only make the barbarians dissatisfied with you, but, if you are honest, you will gain the friendship of the barbarians, even if you clearly want to make a profit, as long as you don't let the barbarians suffer too much, they will not care at all.
Sometimes, the barbarians are such a lovely community.
"Deal!"
Almost as soon as Dean's words fell, Bu Gong shouted loudly, and then, he looked at Dean's stunned expression, and said with some embarrassment: "My community is very worried about the food for the winter, although everyone is working hard, but there is still a lot of shortage, if we have your food, we at least have a little more hope of survival...... Do those damned profiteers really think I'm stupid when they only give me fifty kilograms of grain? Damn it, next time I will never allow them to enter my stockade! ”
Speaking of the back, Bu Gong obviously thought of something, and cursed loudly.
Dean shrugged helplessly.
The trade of the Emerald Merchants and the Barbarians. It's always very unfair; Unfair direction. Sometimes it's the Emerald people. And sometimes it's a barbarian—the two sides are like a scale, one moment you are high, the other time I am high; And in the process of coming and going, gaps appear unconsciously, and vigilance also arises.
It's a matter of businessmen's pursuit of profit and the greedy nature of human nature, which Dean can't handle.
All he had to do was see Tacri on the side follow suit.
"Bu Gong, I need some special herbs, among which the overlord flower stamen and meat bone grass are the main ones. And ......"
Returning to the tent and taking the wine glass handed by Bu Gong, Dean said very formally - these are the necessary drugs for the advancement of Gao Sai, Siti Forging Lv3 → Lv4.
Although Dean is not even Lv1 now, Dean, who is used to planning ahead, will not wait until things come to an end.
Of course, this kind of thing was originally best for Takarou, a future big businessman.
However, it was clear that the other party was being overwhelmed by his demands of 'one hundred and fifty pieces of light steel armor, one hundred and fifty swords, and spears, and twice as many crossbows and a large number of arrows.' Wanting to return to Vauban for a short time is something that is not shown at all. It will not be possible to see this future businessman for at least four or five weeks.
And in four or five weeks, according to Dean's plan, not only the [Shadow Calling Technique] and the [Body Forging Technique (Jade)], are on the right track, but the [Body Forging Technique (Gao Sai)] and [Body Forging Technique (Xiti)] also need to reach a height - this is the change in strength that Dean must exchange for spending four or five weeks.
There can be no delay.
Otherwise, it will only cause changes in the plan in the future, or even a situation where one step is too late, one step is too late.
Dean certainly wouldn't allow that to happen.
Thus, the barbarians became an option for Dean; After all, while bringing the relationship between the two parties closer, he met his own needs, and Dean naturally would not fail to do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone.
"No problem, leave it to me, my brother!"
Bu Gong simply agreed.
After that, it was a very simple drink, and it was not until Bu Gong got drunk again that the banquet was over.
Similarly, when Dean left the next morning, the Cloth Patriarch was still drunk and dazed, and Dean, who had learned from the past, could only say goodbye to the other party.
"Hope to see you next time!"
Dean said goodbye to Tuckery - the half-breed barbarian was obviously much better drunk than the Cloth Pick, and not only had she not been drunk the previous night, but she had also gotten up early in the morning.
"Your mention yì, I will tell the patriarch!"
The half-breed barbarian said.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply!"
Dean nodded, then turned on his horse and rode away in the direction of the Knights of Fecharon's station.
The half-breed female barbarian looked at the direction of Dean and couldn't help but bow her head to think, while the hangover and unawakened Bu Gong appeared staggering beside her, and said vaguely: "Those old guys must have been discussing for a long time, and the clan didn't know how much they would starve to death at that time...... A bunch of old-fashioned, stiff-headed guys...... Wouldn't you consider coming out with your own supporters, like me, to build your own tribe? ”
"Humph!"
A cold snort, and a heavy punch, this was the half-blood female barbarian's answer.
"Gross!"
When he vomited all the filth in his abdomen, he wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up, looked at Tackeri who had already left, and couldn't help but whisper: "I really don't listen to people's advice, obviously I am of mixed blood, but I am more stubborn than me, a real barbarian...... Cut, whatever, anyway, keep trading with my brother, my clan can survive the whole long winter! ”
The barbarian patriarch, who was whispering to himself, shouted loudly in the next moment: "Come on, find me the overlord flower stamen and flesh bone grass, and ......"
The loud voice was endless.
The whole village took action.
