C191 Gift

Immediately after, the other distinguished guests also gave their gifts.

Aries King offered up a golden lamb. This little lamb sparkled in the winter sun.

Xiao Wen could also see that this gold was full of color. Judging from the heavy steps of the slaves carrying the lambs, this thing should not be hollow goods.

However, the golden lamb that Aries had given him was exceptionally eye-catching — the symbol of a cross on his back.

Hey! How did Catholic stuff end up in the Huns?

But it was also true that the Huns' metallurgy and carving techniques were very backward. Although the smelting of gold was very simple, this kind of art couldn't possibly be produced by the Huns.

However, this fantasy did not stop.

Soon after, Xiao Wen saw Lou Zigui, who was in charge of the tribe, give him a single-handed sword.

In Xiao Wen, who had already become a military expert and especially an expert in cold weapons, this sword had no practical uses.

Most of what it does is the function of decoration and ceremonial work.

However, just like the Golden Lamb, Xiao Wen looked at the gorgeous patterns on the silver-plated sword hilt as well as the huge ruby inlaid on it. Xiao Wen felt that it couldn't have been created by a craftsman.

Sure enough, it was within Xiao Wen's expectations.

When Prince Burton took out his sword and showed an expression of satisfaction, Xiao Wen also saw the inscription engraved on the sword as a blood trough.

It was a string of Latin letters. When Xiao Wen translated this string of Latin letters through the library, he came to a conclusion that made him very embarrassed — "Celebrating the twentieth birthday of His Majesty Nero Claudius Drusus Germanikos".

Hey! Christianity had been suppressed in the presence of His Majesty Nero. With this money as a golden lamb, why not bribe the officials of Rome to let St. Peter go? He was the first Pope of the Church of Christ after all!

Fine! Xiao Wen felt that the Church far away in the West was quite evil.

Then Xiao Wen saw a shield that said in Arabic, "Celebrate Saladin's invasion of Jerusalem." A statue of a Polish Lithuanian Union Winged Cavalry made of miniature gold. One of them said in ancient English, "Earl of Grammen," the aristocratic crown. The other depicted a landscape painting of the Taj Mahal, no matter how one looked at it.

These Huns, because of Mongolia in the east, the Qin and Han dynasties in the south, and Siberia in the north, could only attack the people in the west.

This made Xiao Wen feel that not only the East, the West and India, but also the time and space were intersecting and the demons were dancing chaotically.

Of course, there were also some big merchants and nobles who brought something from the east.

Silk from the Song, sugar from the Ming, well salt from the Han, weapons from the Tang. Xiao Wen even saw a noble who gave him a Mongol eagle shooter!

This was because the first person to gift the gifts would be the distinguished guest amongst the distinguished guests. Very quickly, it was Xiao Wen's turn.

In fact, he had already planned it when he heard that Prince Fenton was going to get married.

At this time, he walked in front of everyone, and cupped his hands towards Rendon, saying, "I am Young Master Han Xiao Wen, and am honored to be here today to watch Prince Rendon's wedding. I'm sending over a hundred kilograms of refined salt to you. "

Since the ice was worthless in winter, Xiao Wen didn't use it as a gift. As for the horse meatballs, honey and the like, they were also very rare and difficult to store.

Thus, Xiao Wen could only choose to send out his main trading item, the salt.

However, this time, Xiao Wen brought a total of 300 jins of refined salt. Gifting a hundred catties was nothing.

However, when they heard Xiao Wen's words, the nobles immediately cried out in alarm.

They didn't think that Xiao Wen would be so generous.

After all, in the ancient times, especially in the prairie, even if salt wasn't enough to be traded for gold, it was still extremely valuable hard currency.

After all, on the prairie, not only humans, animals also need to eat salt.

Therefore, nomads need more salt than farmers.

Moreover, unlike Europe's long coastline, almost every country has an ocean and uses it to boil salt.

In China, most of the west coast of the Pacific Ocean is controlled by China and its affiliate, North Korea.

There were only three ways for nomads to obtain salt on a large scale.

The first was a southerly plundering.

However, if he wanted to plunder enough salt, he must have enough military strength.

Historically, the only thing that the nomadic people could expect to defeat the farming people was that the Chinese dynasty of the farming people was in a weakened state.

But now, the countries bordering the nomads, be it Qin or Han, or Song and Ming, are at their peak.

Even though the Song Kingdom was slightly weaker, it was still unrealistic to rob them for salt.

Second, like Liaoning and Mongolia (Jin and Qing are fishermen and hunters), they used force to invade the Yanyun region and obtain salt from the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

However, this method was even more unreliable in this world. It was only a theoretically feasible method.

If they wanted to occupy the Sixteenth Swallow Region, they would have to face the three states of Ming, Song and Liao.

In particular, the Ming Kingdom was still at its peak.

The army of the early Ming was able to defeat the Mongolian who had shaken the world.

Therefore, they could only choose the third option, which was to use peaceful means to purchase salt through trade.

Thus, the price of salt in the prairie could be imagined.

At this moment, Xiao Wen walked up to Raton's side.

Smiling at him, he said in a low voice, "Prince Fenton, you know that my gifts are more than this. As a matter of fact, I brought you a business that can make you rich! With this business, you don't even have to try to rob and rob, and you'll be able to enjoy a life as prosperous as the Song Emperor. "

Song, as the richest dynasty in Chinese history. In this world, it was also a symbol of wealth.

Obviously, when Xiao Wen used the word 'Song' to describe the situation, even Rao Dun's heart was moved.

Of course, what Xiao Wen didn't say was true. When he became rich through eating sheep, he would gradually become a slave to money and economy. He would be manipulated by the Han and Xiao Wen, and would have no way to resist.

The formidable character in the past also no longer existed!

However, at this moment, Xiao Wen didn't have any intentions of stopping. He said, "It's just the salt. In my opinion, it's not something valuable. As for business, although the wealth was enormous, it was something that would happen a long time later. All of these things are just added benefits. "

"As a matter of fact, the present I'm going to give Prince Morton today is something else." Xiao Wen looked at the Huns and said loudly.

"Sir, what other gifts do you have? How come I didn't know? " Looking at Xiao Wen, Zhuge Liang was filled with confusion.

He looked around. Other than the places where he practiced martial arts, Guan Yu was from the Buddhist sect, so he didn't seem to care. The other classmates had blank expressions on their faces.

It seemed like they didn't know what Xiao Wen was talking about.

Under the confused looks of the children, as well as the anticipation of the Huns, Xiao Wen said: "Today, I am going to give Prince Fenton a gift, which will be three thousand clean slaves!"
