106 A well-deserved reputation
After Liu Bei snatched the lamb legs that were eaten by the mouth of "Hu" and abandoned the bones.
The Hu man sitting cross-legged on the other side then smiled and said, "It is worthy of being attached to Liu Bei."
Liu Bei bowed in surprise and said, "Do you know me, Liu Bei?"
"The story of Shaojunhou (old story), the people in the north know all about it." The Hu people called themselves northerners and spoke authentic Youzhou Mandarin. They were quite familiar with Liu Bei's origin. They really could not be treated as ordinary Hu people.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Do you know why I came?"
"Mark peddling." The Hu people opposite were indeed Wuhuan King of Youbeiping, Wuyan, who was proclaimed by himself, and was named King Khan Lu.
"That's right." Liu Bei gently slapped the white spirit soldiers waiting outside the tent, and then sent the money bag.
When I opened my eyes, I saw golden horseshoe golden cakes.
Hu is narrow-minded and suspicious. Rather than saying some useless polite words, it is better to get straight to the point.
After scanning the golden cake, King Wuhuan smiled more sincerely: "There is a city in Zhuo County. Why is the young lord and lord looking for distance?"
"Nothing. Horse market price is high." Liu Bei told the truth.
King Wuhuan nodded and asked again: "Why did I come to Youbeiping?"
Liu Bei also smiled and said, "There are four kings in the Wuhuan of the three counties. Since Liu Bei came, why should the king ask this question again?"
King Wuhuan looked at Liu Bei deeply: "Shao Junhou, the lord, the lord, the lord, the lord said frankly. I dare to ask Shao Junhou, if this is the only time to sell horses, or will it come every year?"
If Liu Bei thought.
The Ma City in Youzhou was divided by the three counties and Wuhuan. The Hu merchants in the city were all the monopoly sellers of several Wuhuan kings. The Wuhuan king of the three counties divided the special areas according to the counties and counties in which they were located. The Wuhuan king of Youbeiping naturally controlled the Ma City trade in the counties under Youbeiping.
However, compared with the other counties, the jurisdiction of Youbeiping County has dropped sharply due to the Xianbei going south. Now there are only four counties left, and the people are losing a lot, and one out of ten is no longer the previous prosperity. As a result, the horse trading volume is becoming increasingly sluggish, and the Wuhuan life in Youbeiping becomes increasingly difficult.
At this time, Wuhuan was mainly engaged in animal husbandry, supplemented by hunting and farming. History says: "The common people like to ride and shoot, hunt birds and animals. They grazed with water and grass, and lived in an unpredictable place. They used the dome as houses, and opened east to the sun. They ate meat and drink cheese, and used fur as clothes."
There are many horses, cattle and sheep. Livestock are not only the source of food and clothing, but also the "buying coins" for marriage. If a person dies, the horses, cattle and sheep are burned to be buried with them. If they encounter revenge, they can also take horses, cattle and sheep to redeem death. They also use cattle and sheep to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, heaven and earth, sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, and the "the first master has a strong reputation" (the former leader with a famous reputation), and they are all burned.
At the same time, horses, cattle, sheep and fur goods are also used as tributes to the Han court or trade with each other. Hunting is also the director of Wuhuan. Tigers, leopards, and marten are all important items in the trade in the city.
However, the goods exchanged between cattle, horses and other livestock are mainly traded with large volumes. In addition to "fine gold and iron", the goods exchanged by Wuhuan also include essential and luxurious products in daily life, such as grain, cloth, silk, tramplings, cartons, etc. and other "refined goods".
In other words, for the Wuhuan in the three counties, mutual trading is essential for survival. Among them, horse trade is the top priority.
There are only four counties left in Youbeiping County, and the people's livelihood is in decline and there is no spare money. The Xianbei often goes south to rob. Few people are interested in the horse market. One is rising and the other is getting worse. Therefore, Youbeiping Wuhuan is the weakest branch among the three counties.
Liu Bei's arrival is a gospel.
If the tribe can be sold to Zhuo County and the Wuhuan tribe, the wealth and goods can be widely used, and the Hu people from the south of the Great Wall can be widely accepted... Life does not have to be so hard, but their strength can also increase!
Why not do it?
After thinking through everything, Liu Bei said, "I have known all the thoughts of the king. I will not hide it from you. This time I will only use it for myself. If I come again next time, I will definitely sell the horses to the south, and how about selling them in this lord's fief?"
"Be serious?" Wu Yan, 'Kang Lu King', suddenly stood up. Liu Bei was a prince who split the land and divided the feudal areas. The prosperous scenery in the town was also heard of by the Hu people.
"Telebrate Liu Bei, and you promise a thousand gold!" Liu Bei smiled arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Wu Yan was overjoyed.
The difference between the ceasing and the reward of the ceasing is that the number of households is not limited to the number of households, while the number of households is mostly limited to the number of households. For example, the Duting Housing who were rewarded for the merits mostly had 200 households. However, the Luchengting Housing Housing, which was granted by Liu Bei, had no limit to the number of households. Only in this way can the fief of 20,000 people be gathered!
The ceasings were mostly used for relatives of the Han Dynasty. Rewarding ceasings was to reward the ministers who had made meritorious deeds.
Looking at the laughing King Wuhuan opposite, Liu Bei felt an unreal sense of trance. "Turn Liu Bei" with just these four words, can you successfully speak out?
By the way, reputation is really important in this era.
Zhang Shiping was empty-mouthed and could come to the crowd of horses from Hu merchants. Not only did he say that he delivered the goods to his door, he even received a 20% discount. In this way, his reputation is really very famous.
There is another thing that can be proved.
A celebrity can get 50% off. A 'Choose Liu Bei' can get 20% off!
Well, that's not bad. Is this an achievement unlocked?
Since he was not greedy for a long time, he would never have greed for Liu Bei's golden cake. Liu Bei, who had become a distinguished guest in Wuhuan, said goodbye and left generously. He still led the way to a tent specially prepared for the distinguished guest.
He politely declined Hu Ji's attendance, and Liu Bei fell asleep without mentioning him.
The white-slim soldiers were scattered around the tent and were on guard overnight.
When it was dawn, there were shouts outside the tent. When he woke up, he asked and found that Huang Gai was competing with the Wuhuan Swordsman.
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and his reputation are all enemies of thousands of people. Even if they are famous cavalry in the world, they are not afraid of anything. War horses are galloping back and forth, and people are like dragons. Huang Gai pulls his bow and arrows, and arrows are like meteors, and they hit every shot. They are cheering.
In this era, the brave men are always respected.
I went out to see the horse that Huang Gai rode on was red and yellow, with a mane (long hair on his neck) and a black tail, which was very majestic.
It is the famous horse: guā liú. guā liú: yellow horse with black mouth. guā liú: naked black mane.
Cheng Pu, who was standing with him, had a blue-body black mane (blue-black texture) under his crotch, which was a famous horse: Qiliu (qí liú).
These two horses are the best choice for Wuhuan horses and Dayuan horses. They have strong endurance and are good at sprinting. They are the best choice for heavy armored cavalry.
With these two horses alone, the estimated price is far higher than that of the golden cake that Liu Bei brought!
He was brought in by the Wuhuan shepherd early in the morning. Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were happy to see it, so he took the test ride. He then competed with the Wuhuan cavalry to shoot.
This shows the sincerity of King Wuhuan.
In addition to two horses, there are also two hundred war horses.
so much?
Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled and said, "King Khan Lu" thanked the young king and marquis who came from thousands of miles away and gave many gifts. Next time I come back, I will use the market price.
So that's it. The first time is the friendship price. If you trade later, the market price will be the market price.
But the question is. Liu Bei has few people, how can he drive two hundred horses to Pingbo Fort?
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged Confucian scholar had already made up his mind: the king would send his sister Wu Lian and take a hundred cavalry together, escorting the young master to safely return to his fiefdom.
Seeing Liu Bei nodding, the middle-aged Confucian scholar said again: The king also said, "My sister is young and will not be upset." Please help me, please help me, protect you from others. Help her handle all the matters in Lou Sang and deal with each other's trading."
I see.
I was afraid that Liu Bei would be a one-time deal and never interact with each other from then on. Therefore, I had to send the most trusted people to accompany me and stay in Lou Sang to supervise the implementation of Liu Bei's promise to the two sides to trade.
What's the difficulty?
Isn’t there enough sacred places living in seclusion in Lousang?
Take it back together!
