Chapter 45 The Goodwill of the Jia Family

Linhu grassland is completely different from the grassland of Dai State. The sky here is blue and all you can see is the sky or the grassland. Here you are like being trapped in an endless ocean and drowned by clean sea water, and your whole mood becomes extremely refreshing.

After walking more than 60 miles in Linhu grassland, the horses were sweating all over. The big flag of the Han family in front stopped. The caravans behind Hua Kai were gone, but everyone was not afraid that they would get into trouble, because this is one of the main trade routes of the Aohan tribe, and there could not be any big horse thieves nearby.

Huajiabao also followed the Han family to find a piece of grassland to set up camp. Beside him were the tents of the two aristocratic caravans of the Han family and the Jia family. It was an honor for the Hua family to be alone with them.

Without waiting for other caravans to arrive, Hua Kai saw the leader of the Jia family coming over. The Jia family usually had no intersection with the Hua family. Their leader, Hua Kai, met last time. He was a master of Qi training level 4. My grandfather said that he seemed to be the younger brother of the head of the Jia family and one of the core figures of the Jia family.

"Meet the leader of the Jia family!" Hua Kai showed due courtesy to the noble family.

"Haha! Master Hua, you don't have to be polite. This year, the merchant group has a lot more fun with the Hua family. After passing the Eighteen Bends of the Panlong, it is basically difficult to encounter any danger in the Linhu grassland. If there is anything you don't know about the Xiongnu country, the Hua family can come to our caravan to ask at any time. When we go out, we should support each other."

The leader of the Jia family treated the Hua family with an equal attitude, which was very rare. Perhaps it was because the strength of the Hua family in Qinglong Village shocked the merchant group a few days ago that they took the initiative to visit the Hua family caravan today.

Everyone in the Hua family was very proud to see this. This was a visit from a noble family, which meant that the Hua family had the strength to get along with the noble family on an equal footing. Does this mean that the Hua family is likely to become a noble family?

It is difficult for ordinary families in this world to become a noble family. That is the most important step to move from the bottom of society to the upper class.

In the past, any servant of the Shen family could have fun with the Hua family, but Hua Kai did not dare to have any complaints. It was very difficult for them to meet an important person from a noble family.

"Thank you, Captain Jia. This is the first time for the Hua family to go to the Xiongnu Kingdom and they don't know anything about the Xiongnu. We are grateful for the help of the Jia family." Hua Kai said with gratitude.

The Jia family leader then told Hua Kai about the geographical location and power layout of the 10 major tribes in the Xiongnu Kingdom, and told him about the annual activity areas of the Guangxian Merchants Group. Hua Kai basically understood these but still nodded to express his gratitude.

Then the Jia family leader talked about the situation and local customs of the medium-sized tribes under the Huhan tribe. These are very important. If the caravan sends goods to the tribes without understanding the local customs, it may encounter a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Most of our Jia family's goods are sent to the Urad tribe 360 ​​miles north of the Huhan tribe. The Urad tribe has a population of more than 30,000 and is one of the medium-sized tribes under the Huhan tribe. Many medium-sized tribes around the Huhan tribe have long-term cooperative relations with the various families of the Qi State. If you want to go, you can only try your luck in some small tribes with thousands of people. If you go to the medium-sized tribes, most of them will not do business with you." The Jia family leader kindly explained to the Hua family.

Hua Kai didn't know there was such a relationship. If they directly handed over the goods to the Huhan tribe, the profit would be reduced by half. If they went to the small and medium-sized tribes under the Huhan tribe, they would mostly exchange their own tribal goods with you, so the caravan could make a lot more profit.

"Then what do you think, Team Leader Jia, is it okay for our Hua family to find a medium-sized tribe to trade with? How do we know if these tribes have fixed trading partners?" Hua Kai took the opportunity to ask. These things are generally secrets of each caravan, and the other party will not reveal them unless they have the best relationship.

"It's not that there are no medium-sized tribes. There is a medium-sized tribe 200 miles north of the Urad tribe. Most caravans can't go there. I think the Hua family caravan has a good pace and can try it. It's just that there are many troubles to enter a new tribe to do business..." Team Leader Jia carefully told Hua Kai how to establish a trade relationship with a tribe. If a caravan that doesn't understand rashly enters an unfamiliar tribe, it may be attacked by the other party.

Hua Kai also carried a large amount of refined salt, brocade, sugar, and refined tea in his personal space. If he made a move in the Huhan tribe, he would definitely be discovered by the Han family. The Huhan tribe was the Han family's cooperative trading partner. It would be better for the Hua family caravan to go further, so that the secret of the caravan carrying goods privately would not be discovered.

At lunch, a team of cavalry from the Huhan tribe passed by the Hua family caravan. From now on, a large number of caravans will come to the Linhu grassland. Every day, the Huhan tribe will have a cavalry team patrolling along the official road to ensure that the caravans can pass smoothly and safely.

When the Han, Jia, and Hua family caravans had finished lunch and settled down to rest, other caravans from the Guangxian merchant group came one after another. Traveling on the grassland requires a high level of horses. Although the distance of 100 miles a day is a flat grassland, the horses will be very slow if they are not strong enough. Therefore, all caravans will stop at the Aohan tribe after passing the Panlong Eighteen Bends.

Hua Kai has been telling the story of "Three Kingdoms" for more than a month. He has already told the story of Zhuge Liang's clever capture of Hanzhong and Cao Cao's retreat to Xiegu. Everyone has fully understood why the story Hua Kai tells is called "Three Kingdoms". The monarchs of these three countries have different styles of doing things, but they all have great ambitions and are talented!

Hua Kai felt that the content of today's story was particularly profound in his heart while he was telling the story. He added some small plots to the stories in many places compared to the original works, which seemed to be more consistent with this world. Suddenly, he heard the long-lost system prompt sound.

"Congratulations to the host for understanding the "Basic Copywriting Skills" and reaching the realm of minor success! Physical fitness +2, strength +2, artistic conception +2."

Hua Kai paused while talking. He hadn't received the system prompt sound for a long time. He felt that his whole body suddenly warmed up, and the [Basic Copywriting Skills] started to work automatically, and the whole person was sublimated at once. This heaven-level mental method is indeed different from ordinary mental methods. It's just the entry-level one's full attributes +2. Check your attribute panel.

Hua Kai: 8th level of the Tempering Body Realm

Qualification: D-

Constitution: 18

Strength: 20

Will: 25

Novelist: Student

Mental Technique (Novelist): Basic Copywriting Skills (Heaven-level Low-level Mental Technique) Minor Success

Mental Technique: Tranquility Technique (Yellow-level High-level Mental Technique) Perfection

Spear Technique: Sky-Splitting Spear (Yellow-level High-level Spear Technique) Great Success

Special Mental Technique: Great Dream Visualization Method (God-level) Entry

Special Skill: Eye of Truth (Cannot be upgraded)

In just over a month, he has mastered the Heaven-level Mental Technique [Basic Copywriting Skills] to a minor success. In fact, Hua Kai did not deliberately practice [Basic Copywriting Skills] at ordinary times. He just conceived it every time he needed to tell a story, and then carefully recalled the setting of the entire novel in the evening [Great Dream Visualization Method]. This mental method is so minor?

A 13-year-old student, most people may not believe it, Hua Kai's will has reached 25 points, not considering the premise that his body has not yet grown, Hua Kai can fight against ordinary Kaiyuan realm masters.

"Kai'er! What's wrong with you? Take a rest if you are tired!" Hua Xing saw his grandson stopped talking, so he asked.

"Grandpa, I'm fine! Let's continue talking..."

Yu Jun and Hua Zichen clearly saw the changes in Hua Kai, which were the signs of a breakthrough in his mind. Looking at the aura on Hua Kai's body, it is clear that he has broken through the student realm! Yu Jun couldn't hide his joy in his heart, but Hua Zichen showed an expression that was difficult to understand.

Since Hua Kai didn't say it, the two of them certainly wouldn't mention it. After the story was finished and everyone left, Hua Kai began to feel the difference after the breakthrough of [Basic Copywriting Skills]. He felt that after the new story was formed in his mind, he could naturally feel the degree of fit between the plot and the main line in his mind, so that they could quickly arrange the most suitable plot for the main line of the novel in their minds. This Tianjie Mentality was obviously born for writing books, and as long as his novels could show deep meaning, he could feel his true energy slightly increased.

After resting for 4 hours in the afternoon, the Han family started on the road when the sun was setting.

It was already mid-April, and the sunlight at noon on the Linhu grassland was already very hot. Because there were no mountains and forests blocking the grassland, the temperature difference between morning and evening was relatively large. In the following days, the Guangxian merchant group traveled early and late, and stopped to rest when the sun was shining at noon. In this way, four days later at noon, Hua Kai finally saw the Aohan tribe.

Aohan tribe is the largest tribe closest to the Central Plains in Linhu grassland. The tribe has a population of more than 100,000 and more than 30,000 soldiers capable of fighting. It has hundreds of small and medium-sized tribes affiliated with it, and is one of the four major tribes in Linhu grassland.

Hua Kai had imagined how powerful the large tribes in the grassland were, but he was still shocked when he saw the Aohan tribe from a distance.

The Aohan tribe stretched for dozens of miles and was full of tents specially made for Linhu grassland. These tents were made of coarse cloth and decorated with brocade on the outside, which looked very beautiful from a distance.

Not far away, neat rows of cavalry rode past the Guangxian merchant group, with a number of about 3,000 people. Hua Kai checked that their lowest strength was the late stage of the Tempering Body Realm, and more than half of them were in the Kaiyuan Realm.

Approaching the Aohan tribe, a small group of cavalry led the way for the Han family in front of the Guangxian merchant group. The Hua family merchant group followed the Han family flag and slowly stepped into the tribe. The herdsmen here smiled at the merchant group when they saw the merchant group coming. Hua Kai followed the merchant group through hundreds of yurts and came to a huge market.

The Hua family caravan is not unfamiliar with this market. In previous years, the Hua family considered the goods delivered here as reaching the destination, so after separating from the Guangxian merchant group, the Hua family seemed more familiar with it than other caravans.

"The Han family will stay here for three days. They will definitely go to the horse market to buy horses. Going to the Xiongnu depends entirely on the horse's foot power. If the caravan can't walk a hundred miles a day, it will be very difficult to reach the Xiongnu!"

Hua Xing introduced the knowledge that the caravan needed to know to Hua Kai, and took everyone to the caravan exclusive area to set up tents. This area has hundreds of acres of grassland, which are all provided by the Aohan tribe for the caravan to rest and trade.

"We should have enough horses, but we can't be idle for three days. We will go buy a few horses later. I have been idle these days and upgraded them. I just don't know if we can drive the horses outside the tribe to release them!" Hua Kai said to his grandfather.

"The Aohan tribe has a special grazing area reserved for caravans. You can graze as you like as long as you pay a few taels of silver. When you come here, you should walk around and take a look. As long as you have the ability, there are many opportunities to pick up bargains here. We can't let it go." Hua Xing comes here every year, so he is very familiar with it. He introduced Hua Kai to the various places in the market.

After the caravan set up the tent, Hua Kai and his grandfather and more than ten people from the Hua family went to the market. Their first stop was the horse market.

The horse market of the Aohan tribe occupied half of the central market area. Those herders had dozens of horses tied outside the tents. Hua Kai took a rough look at the tents for selling horses and found that there were at least thousands of tents, which means that there were tens of thousands of horses here.

"Come and see the horses. Our horses are carefully selected and the prices are not expensive..."

"We have the best horses here. Would you like to take a look..."

As soon as he came over, a horse owner shouted. At this time, the caravans from Qi and other countries that came to Aohan Tribe had not arrived yet. Most of the people who came to Aohan Tribe now were going to Xiongnu, Dayue, Xiaoyue, Mongolia, Qiang and even Dashi. They knew that these caravans wanted to buy good horses, so they shouted from a distance.

Hua Kai came to the tent of the man who said he had the best horses. The horse owner saw Hua Kai and walked over happily.

"Look, my horse, I have the best horses here. These are all carefully selected strong horses, all raised in our ranch." The horse owner happily introduced his horses to Hua Kai and praised his horses to the sky.

Donghu horse: 3rd level 28%

Physique: 22

Speed: 24

Spirit: 25

This is the best horse among the 20 horses sold by the other party. Except for this horse, the other two horses have just reached the third level, and half of the horses are poor horses. This horse seller is too boastful.

"How much is this horse?" Hua Kai pointed at the best horse.

"This horse is just 3 years old. Look at its teeth, head shape and long legs. It is definitely a rare top-grade horse. If you want it, I will sell it to you for 15 gold." The horse owner gritted his teeth and said as if he had suffered a loss.

If this horse is placed in Guang County, let alone 15 gold, even 30 kilograms will be wanted. But this is the Aohan tribe of Linhu grassland, and this horse is worth 10 gold at most.

Hua Kai also asked about the price of the other two horses and a strong horse that can be upgraded. The price of the horse is about the same, and the strong horse is 1 gold.

Hua Kai did not buy this strong horse that was about to be upgraded. The horse market here is so big that there are many horses to choose from. He suddenly didn't care so much about these strong horses that were a few points short of upgrading.

After looking at several tents, the horses here are actually mostly weak horses and strong horses. It is not easy for ordinary herdsmen to breed fine horses. Those who can choose to set up stalls and sell horses here are herdsmen from small tribes without caravans. There are many good horses and even BMWs in large and medium-sized tribes, but they rarely sell horses here.

After walking around for half an hour, Hua Kai finally saw a horse that barely met his requirements.

Donghu Horse: Level 3 76%

Constitution: 27

Speed: 29

Spirituality: 28

The lowest physical attribute of this horse has reached 27 points. After Hua Kai takes it to the three secret realms for simultaneous trials, it is very likely to become a BMW.

The owner wanted the horse for 45 gold. Huakai negotiated with him for a long time and lowered the price to 38 gold. Even if Huakai did not upgrade the horse and brought it back to Guangxian City, it could still be sold for more than 70 gold.
