The man in brocade clothes sold the wild animal bones for more than 16 gold, the animal skins for 22 gold, and brought over more than 20 horses. Hua Kai looked at the horses and found that most of them were strong horses. He selected 4 fine horses and more than 10 strong horses. Most of these strong horses could not be upgraded, but who made the horses here cheap!
The second-level 50% strong horses only cost 40 silver. Even if they were transported back to the Huhan tribe and sold for less than 60 silver, they could still be sold for more than 60 silver. One person took the Hua family caravan half an hour. The people in the queue behind were so anxious that they stamped their feet, but they dared not complain. Who made the people in the front all nobles!
"I still have some spiritual herbs and strange stones here. See if you can take them." The man in brocade clothes saw that he had sold a lot of goods for 87 gold. He took out a few bags from behind with some dissatisfaction. Hua Kai looked at the spiritual herbs and found that they were all fine and well maintained. Among the strange stones, only a small meteorite was real.
"12 spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and a meteorite weighing about 14 jin, a total of 190 gold, what do you think?" Hua Kai had also seen Han Jinsheng's bargaining mode, but he still asked with some uncertainty. These spiritual herbs and meteorites are worth at least 800 gold when transported back to Guang County.
"Okay, very fair!" The man in brocade clothes replied happily. The others behind him saw that the man in brocade clothes sold 277 gold worth of goods at once, and they all showed envious eyes.
Hua Kai asked his grandfather to collect the spiritual herbs and meteorites, and the Hua family team took the man in brocade clothes to choose goods. This is how transactions are generally conducted on the grassland.
"500 bone coins per jin of coarse salt, give me 100 jin! 1800 bone coins per jin of refined salt, this price is a bit expensive, the last time I came to the tribe, the goods were only 1750 bone coins... This snowflake salt is too white, only 1900 bone coins, can I try it?" The man in brocade clothes was selecting goods here alone, looking left and right, and soon the 277 gold was spent.
At this time, Hua Kai also collected the goods from the second family. Although the goods from the second family were not as much as the first family, they had more than 10 horses and brought many young and strong slaves. Hua Kai accepted all the goods with qualifications above B-.
In one morning, Hua Kai only collected goods from more than ten families. Except for the goods from the first three families, which were worth more than 100 gold, the goods from other families were mostly priced at more than 10 gold. The goods on the carriage of the Hua family caravan were sold for more than 700 gold, and only about half of the goods were left. The most popular one was the "Snowflake Salt" of the Hua family.
Snowflake salt sold 1,900 bone coins per catty in one morning. At this price, it was sold for 2,000 bone coins when it was transported to other tribes. At noon, everyone in the Hua family was exhausted, so they stopped trading and had lunch.
But the herdsmen were reluctant to leave after hearing this. They carried large and small bags of things on their backs, and many of them were leading horses and cows. They just waited for the Hua family to continue trading in the afternoon.
"I didn't expect making money would be so tiring. Master, how much money did we make today?" Er Zhuang had been collecting goods with Hua Kai in the morning. He stood up when he heard Hua Kai say he was going to rest.
"Estimate it yourself for that pile of goods. If we sell all the goods in our hands, we can probably sell them for about 2,000 gold!" Hua Kai smiled at this. He had purchased more than 80 horses and more than 30 slaves in the morning, and had more than 30 spiritual medicines in his pocket. This was a huge fortune. The Hua family had never seen these before.
"Master, let's buy more slaves and horses this time and let the seven villages outside the city see them. Our Hua family is different from before. I don't even want to ride a horse of this quality now..." Er Zhuang pouted. The caravan made money this time and all the members will share the dividends. This time, it seems that everyone can get at least 5 gold.
"Stop bragging! We'll continue in the afternoon, you should take a break at noon!"
Hua Kai and the Hua family were chatting about how much money they made today. Everyone had never been so happy. At this time, Hua Kai saw a team of cavalry coming over, led by the cavalry leader who was in the fourth level of Qi training.
"Hua leader, you guys take a break first. The tribe leader invites the Hua family caravan to the main tent for a banquet in the afternoon." The cavalry leader said to Hua Kai very politely.
It stands to reason that if the caravan just arrived at the Ordos tribe yesterday and wanted to deepen their understanding with the Hua family caravan, they should have invited Hua Kai and several other backbones of the caravan. In this way, they can be the first to choose the goods they need, but this morning, no one from the royal family of the Ordos tribe appeared.
Hua Kai saw that the tribe members queuing in the distance had dispersed one by one. This was obviously an order from the tribe leader. The people of the Hua family caravan looked at each other and didn't understand what was happening in front of them. Why did the transaction suddenly stop?
Everyone had lunch with doubts at noon. The cavalry leader was still waiting outside the caravan. Hua Xing didn't know why the other party wanted to stop the Hua family caravan from trading here, but he had to go because the other party invited him.
"Kai'er, let your fifth uncle and Yu Jun accompany you this time! If there is any accident, you must protect Kai'er even if you risk your life. I will take the caravan to prepare for the reception." Hua Xing saw Hua Kai packing his clothes and preparing for the banquet, and said carefully.
"Grandpa, don't worry. It's a good thing that we have been invited by the tribe leader when we arrived at the tribe. There is nothing to worry about. There is no need to trade in the afternoon. You can take everyone to have a good rest. I guess the tribe leader of the Ordos tribe wants to eat all our goods." Hua Kai thought for a while and said.
"Eat our goods? Can't he just send someone to buy it? Why go through so much trouble to send you there?" Yu Jun said on the side.
"It's definitely not that simple, but we can only know the specific reason when we go there in the afternoon. If the other party lowers the price, we will sell the goods in another place. I don't believe he dares to force us to stay." Now the Hua family has three masters in the Qi training realm, and their combat power has reached the late stage of Qi training, so Hua Kai has such confidence to speak.
After dinner, Hua Kai only brought his fifth uncle Hua Zichen and the guide Han Jinsheng of the Huhan tribe to the main tent of the Ordos tribe. This is a super large tent with an area of more than 200 square meters. The whole tent is sewn with colorful brocade. Ordinary tents look as weak as babies in front of it.
The population of the Ordos tribe is more than 50,000. Because of the long-term combat, the number of slaves in the tribe exceeds 50,000, and this does not include children. So if the total population is calculated, the population of the entire Ordos tribe exceeds 150,000, which is already a quasi-large tribe.
"Meet the honorable Tiefa tribe leader. You are as powerful as the magic tiger in the forest. Even the hawk dare not land in front of you."
When Hua Kai came, he already knew that the tribe leader of the Ordos tribe was named Tiefa Sukhbaru. The Ordos tribe believed in tigers, and the magic tiger was one of the most powerful tigers among the wild beasts. It was believed by many Ordos tribes. Hua Kai said so.
The tribe leader of the Ordos tribe sat in the main seat. He was surrounded by exquisite wild beast skins. Most of these wild beast skins were worth more than 100 gold, which showed his wealth. Hua Kai just clasped his fists and saluted slightly. Although the status of the tribe leader of the Ordos tribe should be more noble than that of the county chief and the king of the state under Qi, Hua Kai was a caravan of Qi after all, and the trading relationship with the Ordos tribe was an equal cooperation.
"The Ordos tribe hasn't had a caravan for many years. This year, the Hua family caravan is here to bring a lot of fun to the tribe. I wonder why the old man who competed yesterday didn't come with you?" The other party said in mainland language. Hua Kai checked the other party's attributes.
Tiefa. Sukhbaru: Great Perfection of Qi Training Realm
Qualification: S-
Constitution: 56
Strength: 50
Will: 54
Heart Method: Ganzhu Heart Sutra (Earth-level Intermediate Heart Method) Minor Success
Martial Arts: Tiger Head Lijin Spear (Xuan-level Intermediate Spear Method) Great Success
Loyalty: -29
Hua Kai checked the other party's attributes and found that he had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training Realm, and there was a possibility of breaking through to the Xiantian Realm at any time. Looking at the other party's age, he was only about 35 years old, and his real age was at most about the same as his grandfather. The chance of breaking through to the Xiantian Realm in this life was still very high.
The most critical thing is that Hua Kai saw that the other party's qualification was S-. When he was investigating, the system had already reminded him that this was a stronger qualification than his fifth uncle's A+ qualification. Under normal circumstances, qualifications above S- belong to the Tianjiao level.
"Reply to Chief Tiefa, my grandfather did not come with me this time. I can make the decision on the Hua family caravan alone." Hua Kai said this to lead Chief Tiefa to the transaction. He was most afraid that the other party would be curious about his grandfather's [Dragon Spear], after all, it involved Hua Kai's secret.
It's a pity that Chief Tiefa didn't hide it at all. If he hadn't heard about the process of the two families' competition yesterday afternoon, he would not have specially invited Hua Kai to his main account!
"I heard that your grandfather has a very powerful magic weapon in his hand. Can you let this chief see it? If you are willing to make a move, you can name the price at will." Chief Tiefa seemed rich and powerful.
"I'm really sorry. The weapon in grandpa's hand is the inherited weapon of the Hua family. If Chief Tiefa wants a handy weapon, maybe I can help. The Hua family knows a weapon refiner who can help Chief Tiefa make one!" Hua Kai said.
"Oh! That's fine! It's fate that your caravan can come to our tribe. Today I asked someone to take a dried spirit cow. You have to taste it more."
Chief Tiefa is also a generous person. If he wants a 6th-grade weapon, it is not difficult to get it with the strength of the Ordos tribe. The Hua family is unwilling to talk about their own weapons. Chief Tiefa is not angry, but invites Hua Kai and others to eat dried spirit cow.
This dried spirit meat is very famous throughout the Shenzhou continent. If spiritual rice is exclusive to the big families in the Central Plains, then dried spirit cow is the food that only the top nobles in the Xiongnu grassland can afford.
A pound of dried spirit cow is equivalent to the price of gold in Linzi City. Although Hua Kai had just eaten lunch not long ago, he was curious to hear that there was a dried spirit cow to taste.
"Thank you, Chief Tiefa. I have admired this Xiongnu dried spiritual cattle for a long time. I am lucky to taste it today. If the Hua family can help you, please let Chief Tiefa know!"
I have already rejected the other party's exploration of [Dragon Spear]. Chief Tiefa is still willing to treat me to such a precious dried spiritual cattle. He must have a need for it.
"The head of the Hua family knows about dried spiritual cattle, but he must not know why this dried spiritual cattle is so precious! The Xiongnu people never think of themselves as the masters of this grassland, but only as a member of this grassland. We are in awe of every river and every life on the grassland. On this grassland, there are more wolves than us Xiongnu people, and there are more bison and wildebeests than wolves."
Hua Kai listened to Chief Tiefa's explanation and nodded.
Many large tribes in the Xiongnu Kingdom were greatly influenced by the Central Plains, such as the Huhan tribe. Most people in the tribe have the surnames Han, Wang, and Yu. The ancient Xiongnu surnames Gongsun, Huyan, Luanyu, Helian, and Tiefa are becoming less and less. These new tribes are becoming stronger and stronger by learning from the Central Plains. Most of the old tribes still have the traditional ideas of the past. Although this idea is a bit pedantic, it still has its merits. The Tiefa tribe is one of the old Xiongnu tribes.
"Every few years, when there are many bison herds on the grassland, we will kill some bison and wild horses. Compared with wolves, these bison, wildebeests, and wild horses are the biggest enemies of the grassland. They will eat all the green grass on the grassland. After they grow stronger, the number of wolves will increase dramatically in a few years, and it will become difficult for us grassland people to survive."
Hua Kai and his friends didn't know why Chief Tiefa said this, but they still listened carefully. Hua Kai began to understand the understanding and love of a grassland man for his homeland. Everything about the grassland was full of infinite love when he spoke from his mouth.
"If you want to reduce the number of migrating herds, the most effective way is to kill the leader of the herd. This air-dried spiritual meat is made from the best wild buffalo kings we have selected. They must be at least at the level of wild beasts, over 15 years old and weighing more than 10,000 kilograms. It is smoked with special spiritual medicine and resin. Generally, more than 200 kilograms of refined salt are needed to make an air-dried spiritual cow. The better the refined salt, the better the air-dried spiritual cow.
It takes at least 3 months to find an air-dried spiritual cow from a herd of millions of cattle, hunt it back, and then smoke it. This is also praying that there is no continuous rainfall in the meantime. Our tribe also has some air-dried spiritual cattle stored by my grandfather's generation. They are the pride of my entire tribe."
Hua Kai only then knew why an air-dried spiritual cow was so expensive. It is not easy to find a cattle king among a herd of millions of cattle! The cattle king is at least at the level of wild beasts. If you don't have the strength of the innate realm, you will die.
"Thank you for your explanation, Chief Tiefa. Hua Kai has benefited a lot. If the Ordos tribe needs snowflake salt, the Hua family caravan still has a lot, and we can sell it all to the tribe." Hua Kai said.
"Not only this year, but next year I hope your caravan can bring more refined salt, which is the snowflake salt you mentioned. The Ordos tribe can buy all of it at a price of 2,000 bone coins per catty. All your goods this year will be handed over to the tribe. All prices are in accordance with your regulations. Just tell me what goods you need, and I can meet your requirements." Chief Tiefa said confidently.
Hua Kai had expected this result and the result was completely acceptable. Chief Tiefa obviously wanted to win over the Hua family to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them. Perhaps he asked his grandfather just to test whether the Hua family had the strength to cooperate with him.
As the conversation between the two sides deepened, Hua Kai's understanding of the Ordos tribe became more and more profound. They were able to bear the pressure of the Wuzhui tribe for many years on their own and remained undefeated. There was a reason why they were able to bear the pressure of the Wuzhui tribe for many years without being defeated.
Slowly, it got dark outside the tent. Many torches were lit outside the tent. The Ordos tribe started a lively bonfire party. At the invitation of Chief Tiefa, Hua Kai left the main tent with his uncle Wu and Han Jinsheng. Not far away was the bonfire party venue.
