C188 Xiao Wen's Conversational Actions

Xiao Wen was a pragmatic person.

Although he felt that it wasn't a problem for him to carry out the red tape between the nobles, it was a form of respect towards the big man's circle of nobles.

However, on the prairie, when faced with the straightforward Huns, Xiao Wen felt that it was better to be straightforward.

He had to come to an agreement with Rembrandt as soon as possible so that he could carry out the next part of the Sheep Eating Project. It had to be fast, at least until winter really arrived.

In this way, it would be the last month of winter when he returned to the clouds.

At that time, the food and fuel reserves of the villagers outside Cloud City were almost exhausted.

However, the Huns' guide shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Prince Burton won't have the time to receive your distinguished guest for the next few days. Because he's going to marry his beautiful bride. "

"What a coincidence!" Xiao Wen frowned as he thought about it.

However, a strange expression soon appeared on his face.

"Speaking of this impostor, in history, the King of Yue had him hand over his own horses and wife, and even this impostor was handed over. Only when the King of Yue told him to cede the land of the Huns did he fight back. It can be said that this guy treats his wife like an item that can be traded and abandoned. "

"Being his wife can be considered bad luck."

However, Xiao Wen knew that people on the prairie usually had this kind of personality. They did not value their wives as much as the farmers in the south. It was even more impossible for Xiao Wen, who had been influenced by the culture of the twenty-first century, to view his wife as an integral part of himself.

However, many of the people of the prairie were not like Renden. They would not abandon him in a straightforward manner when they were giving up on him.

"That's why I say that this imbecile is also a formidable figure who, for his own purposes, would sacrifice anything." Xiao Wen thought.

At the same time, only this kind of great and powerful warrior could exterminate the Eastern Hu and lead the Xiping Yue clan to become the sole ruler of the grassland.

"It's just that in today's prairie, the opponents of Renden are Genghis Khan and his Mongol Empire. The Golden Horde, which made the eastern European steppes tremble, the Muslim Ilkhan, ruled China's Yuan dynasty. Can Rembrandt really defeat Mongolia? "

Thinking of this, Xiao Wen suddenly felt some anticipation.

However, he said to the guide, "Tell Prince Fenton that his friend Xiao Wen, the son of a big man, will attend his wedding. I hope he doesn't refuse friends from afar. "

"Yes, esteemed customer." Hearing Xiao Wen's words, the other person respectfully bowed to him.

Then, Xiao Wen asked about the slave trade.

"The customer finally asked the right question." Hearing this, the guide told Xiao Wen, "Although I am a guide, my brother has always been engaged in the slave trade. Although we separated when we were adults, since I have often introduced our Hun slaves to distinguished guests, our families have also moved around a lot. "

Hearing this, the arrogant Yang Xiu asked with some prejudice, "You Huns even have business!"

Hearing Yang Xiu's words, the guide felt a little awkward, but he didn't find it strange.

He explained: "Although the world has always had the impression that we Huns only plunder and do not do business. But if you think about it carefully, if we do not do business, then where do we Huns have enough salt, and how can we deal with slaves who come out of war every year, or come from internal traitors, or who come from the outside? We can't digest it ourselves! After all, there are many people who are redundant in our eyes and can only be resold elsewhere in exchange for benefits. In addition to the Bronze Iron grade equipment, cloth, grain, tea and rhubarb, we need to trade in order to obtain these items. "

Xiao Wen nodded.

Although the Huns loved to plunder, if they truly didn't understand the benefits of trade and didn't develop it, then wouldn't it be very difficult for the monarchs of the two countries of Liaohan to intentionally cut off trade?

After all, although there were several salt lakes in the Huns that could produce salt, they could not supply the entire population. Thus, they had to trade with merchants for sea salt from coastal countries like Song Ming.

After all, although the Huns had a small amount of bronze and iron ore, their smelting skills were far behind, and they could not even afford to let all the tribes have a pot without trading.

After all, although the Huns could produce cheese for food, if they did not exchange it for food from the farming countries, many of the herdsmen and slaves at the bottom would starve in less than half a year. With such a fast rate of population consumption, it was impossible for the Huns to form a nation, even if it was organized by the Tribal Alliance.

Similarly, if the Huns did not trade, they did not have enough tea and rhubarb, and a lack of vitamins would cause them to suffer from massive sepsis.

Furthermore, countries like the Qin and Han Dynasties would import war horses into the prairie every year.

The Han nation is fine, but the world's Han nation and Mongolia, a country that specializes in business and trade, also have borders. Mongolia may seem barbaric, but in terms of subsequent administrative policies, it is not without civilization. This can be seen in the Metahistory.)

But Qin, even though they had always been horses for Zhou Tianzi in history, in this world, they did not have much land to raise horses.

They could not have come out without the Hun market.

In fact, Xiao Wen's Ferghana Horse came to their house through the black market of the Huns. Xiao Wen was very clear on this point.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wen said: "I want to sell my slaves to the Huns, I don't know how much I can sell them for?"

Hearing this, the Huns' eyes lit up.

He said, "I have already seen the few Manchu slaves in your esteemed guest's hands. His fitness level was very good, suitable to be trained as a war slave. As for high-quality battle slaves, they had always been the favorite of the nobility of the prairie. "Every year, my brother imports some of the people they caught in Manchu, and they turn them into war slaves."

Xiao Wen nodded.

Although these guys who trained as war slaves might be used to attack the Han Chinese themselves.

However, he believed that because of him, the future big guy would be stronger and stronger in military science and technology. Those war slaves could be settled on the battlefield with a single arrow.

But then, the guide asked curiously, "Those slaves look wild and untamed, as if they were just captured, and still need training. But as far as I know, there is a gap between the big man and the Manchu people, how could there be such a fresh Manchu between Liaoning and Mongolia? "

Xiao Wen tapped the table. He could sense that the Huns didn't seem to know the situation of the Manchu Tarantula. Thus, he wanted to ask for a few words.

He said: "A few days ago, the Manchu constables used spies to create a lot of trouble for our big man's Yunzhong City. And then that fool Nurhachin, thinking he had a chance, sent a flag of troops into the clouds. The result was that he was beaten to a pulp by us. As for me, I was also part of that battle. The war went on from the clouds all the way to the prairie. That's your Huns' ranch, don't you know? "

Hearing that, the upright guide immediately said, "We have been staying in Mo Bei this year and everyone has just returned. actually, we don't really know much about the matters of Mo Nan. "

Xiao Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
