Chapter 662: Prairie Trading

At the border between the northern grassland and the Central Plains, a group of refugees are sitting by the Shenmu River, next to a rising bonfire.
It is located on the northern border of the Wang's Consortium and borders the grassland, but it is already a rare place here, and Wang's troops rarely even patrol here.
A group of people warmed around the campfire. The clothes they wore obviously had a lot of patches, and they were not often washed. They also carried homemade soil guns in their arms. At first glance, they saw horse bandits in the wilderness all year round.
A middle-aged man with a sharp-billed monkey gill said, "Brother, do you think they will come? The days previously agreed can be long gone."
"I don't know," a sturdy middle-aged man rubbed his hands. "Who knows what's happening on the grassland, and I heard that it's also messy there. Some small tribes said they were destroyed when they were destroyed."
"Will we continue to wait? It's been two days," said the middle-aged man with a sharp-mouthed gill, "If the goods they bring are not as good as they say, we can just run for nothing."
"Wang Ergou, I said whether your kid can stop for a while. After listening to you here for two days, if you don't want to wait, you can go back on your own," said a man and spit on the ground.
The leader of the horse bandit no longer speaks. The reason why he waited here for two days is not because he has good faith or something, but that the family will soon be unable to open the pot ...
They live on the road from the Central Plains to the Northwest, but the commercial roads in the Northwest and the Central Plains have long been cut off. I have n’t known how many years. The horse bandits who had the scenery in those days now have to plant their own land every day, which is too cheap.
Although I heard that the commercial road will be reopened, isn't it yet open? Before, they encountered a few caravans who wanted to rob, but now the caravans that can travel between the Northwest and the Central Plains are big merchants, and their weapons are much better than them.
Moreover, he is also a wise man. Who is this business person? But 178 fortress!
These 178 fortresses are different from the consortium. They will not loot the caravan in the future, and the group of blanks in the 178 fortresses is likely to dismiss soldiers regardless of them.
The leader of the bandit thought to himself, since being a bandit is risky, can he take advantage of this wind and do some business?
But what kind of business can I do without stock ...
Therefore, in the previous paragraph, a herdsman came from the north on horseback and said that he wanted to do business with them. The leader of the horse bandit called Su Lei immediately tempted.
The herdsman rode extremely tall horses and said that they had a lot of fur for prey on the grassland, as well as beef and mutton to trade.
These things, whether in the Northwest or the Central Plains, are scarce!
Especially fur, that's one of the favorite things of the nobles in the barriers. It has something to do with game. Now, if you can put on the beautiful fur from the wilderness, then you are the most dazzling existence at the dinner.
Of course, Su Lei also heard what others said, and he had never seen it with his own eyes.
But in the town of Zong ’s barriers, it ’s true that a grocery store owner bought fur all year round.
No, those barriers now belong to the 178 stronghold.
The Shenmu River is shallow, and now it has all frozen into ice due to the cold weather.
Why do nomads always choose to go south in winter? Part of the reason is that rivers can pass.
As Sulei, the leader of the horse bandit, meditated, there was a faint horseshoe sound in the distance. He looked up and saw a crowd of people coming from the frozen river, headed by a teenager.
Su Lei stood up: "I am Su Lei, you are late."
The teenager sitting on the horse laughed: "Good things always come late, the fur we bring, a lot of fur, and the appearance is very good. Did you bring what we asked for?"
At this time, Su Lei remembered a very weird thing. According to him, what the northern nomads want to trade should be salt or weapons, but the other party was very strange, and they named tea, Chinese cabbage, coriander, Seasonings such as onion garlic, pepper, pepper, etc ...
Of course, antibiotic drugs and some ironware were also required, but ironware was also pots and pans, not knife and sword ...
Su Lei said: "Our goods are located a few kilometers away, you must determine your sincerity before you can take you to pick up."
Dozens of people behind Su Lei silently looked at the teenager, and hundreds of light and strong men behind the teenager. These people were riding high horses and closely following the teenager.
The teenager laughed at Su Lei's words and said, "Send someone to inspect the goods."
Su Lei winked at the middle-aged man with a sharp-billed monkey gill, and the other person shrank back.
Instead, the man who had scolded this middle-aged man before took the initiative to walk towards herders.
The teenager looked at the man and applauded: "The courage is quite big. What's your name?"
Su Lei suddenly felt that the young man had the self-confidence of a superior person, and the man didn't mind, he replied muffled, "Cui Qiang!"
Having said that, the man had already reached the herdsmen, and he was surprised to see that all of them were covered with a pile of fur on their horses.
Cui Qiang reached out and examined it. The integrity of these furs was not even the best hunters in Central Plains. There were no gun holes, only two small holes like tooth marks, as if killed by a wolf.
If the fur here is sold to the Northwest or Central Plains, it will make a lot of money.
It is best to sell to Central Plains, where people are more rich!
Cui Qiang inspected for half an hour before it was finally over. He turned back to Su Lei and shouted, "No problem."
Su Lei took a deep breath and said to the boy, "Come with me, I will take you to the place where the goods are placed, vegetables, ironware, medicine, we have all."
The young man smiled happily: "When I saw no goods around you, I still thought you were planning to empty gloves white wolf. Since you are sincerely going to trade with our tribe, you made a very correct decision.
In words, Su Lei found that the boy in the other party did not seem to be afraid of their soil guns, but the herdsmen did not have any hot weapons, so why are they so confident?
You know, soil guns are soil, that's also a gun.
As Su Lei led the way, he wondered: "Why don't you buy weapons or something? Why do you buy so many daily necessities?"
The boy laughed: "It's like I want a weapon, and you can get it for me."
There was a sense of ridicule in the discourse, but Su Lei really couldn't refute it. If he could get a better weapon, they wouldn't have to run around with a soil gun.
The teenager looked at Su Lei and said with a smile: "Don't mind, I just state some facts. After this transaction is done, you will gradually become rich. By then, we will not be late to trade other commodities."
Su Lei hesitated for a moment, he found that this boy actually wanted a long-term cooperation in the future.
The other party does not buy a gun now because the other party sees clearly: Su Lei can't get them either.
But if you ca n’t get it now, it does n’t mean you ca n’t get it later.
