Chapter 258 Trading

Hua Kai's presence in the Wujumuqin tribe gave the Hua family an opportunity to penetrate deeper into the grassland. After Hua Kai decided to make the Wujumuqin tribe the next key trading target of the family, everyone began to prepare for all the trading goods.

Because the distance was too far, the caravan could not go back and forth from the Wujumuqin tribe in a year. It was not an easy task to drive the cattle and sheep of the Wujumuqin tribe back to Gaoliu City.

In order to better complete the transaction, the Hua family has begun to plan to transfer part of the manpower to the grassland. Using the Ordos tribe as a transit station and the Wujumuqin tribe as a springboard, the Hua family's goods can penetrate into the Qiang, Quanrong and even the tribes in the western region, so that they can collect more spiritual medicines and strange stones to enhance the family's strength.

After discussion, Erzhuang will go to the Wujumuqin tribe this year. He needs to arrange to send all the slaves, livestock and horses to the Ordos tribe and hand them over to Xue Chen who is in the Ordos tribe. After these slaves and livestock have rested in the Ordos tribe for a year, they will rush to Gaoliu County.

Hua Zichen has sent ten Hua family special servants, led by Qing Geertai and more than 500 elite family servants to the Ordos tribe. They need to wait until the family caravan arrives next year before they can return.

Today, the Ujumchin tribe sent millions of pounds of animal bones and more than 200,000 animal skins to the tent outside the tribe that has been built. This tent was temporarily sewn by the Ujumchin tribe leader with more than 20 tents. Although it looks ugly, it is good that the area inside is large.

Hua Kai stayed outside the tent and watched the soldiers bring piles of animal bones and furs into the tent. He was the first to point out the problems with the quality of the furs and the incorrect classification of the animal bones.

When the goods in the tent were all piled up, Hua Kai asked everyone to leave. He returned to the tent and put all the animal bones and furs into the portable space.

Enter the [Family Secret Space] and hand over the goods in the space to Xue Chen. Xue Chen's [Dragon Carp Inkstone] space is the largest among the three. Hua Kai transferred hundreds of times in an hour before transferring all the goods into Xue Chen's [Dragon Carp Inkstone] space. Xue Chen left the [Family Secret Space] and stored the goods in the Ordos Tribe first, and then waited for Hua Kai to return to Gaoliu City. The two could transfer them out as they are now, which is simple and convenient.

While Hua Kai and Xue Chen were dealing with animal bones and furs, Hua Zichen transferred the silk and weapons needed by Hua Kai little by little and handed them over to Xue Chen. Xue Chen became the transferee of this mission because of the largest space.

In one day, three tents of furs and animal bones were dealt with, and the sky was slowly getting dark. Today's harvest in one day is greater than any fur and animal bones harvested in previous years.

According to today's results, there are more than 200,000 pieces of furs of various qualities and more than 4 million kilograms of animal bones above the intermediate level. These are worth more than 37,000 gold on the grassland, but they can be worth more than 100,000 gold in the Central Plains.

Hua Kai took the list to the king's tent of the Wuzhumuqin tribe. The chief of the Wuzhumuqin tribe pouted his lips in dissatisfaction after reading it: "So many animal bones and furs are worth so little money?" Hua Kai glanced at the other party. This was completely because the transactions they made a few days ago were hundreds of thousands of gold, which made the other party careless. Spiritual medicine and strange stones are things that only the top of this world can play with. How can these ordinary animal skins and bones compare with them? "Uncle, this is because there are two monster skins among them, otherwise your goods are not worth even 20,000 gold." Hua Kai said angrily. "Haha! I know that so many animal bones and furs can't even be exchanged for a hundred ordinary pills. This is a big difference from before." The chief of the Wuzhumuqin tribe smiled bitterly. "I have marked all the prices of the goods you want for you. You can mark what you need to exchange. I will put the goods you need in the big tent tomorrow. During this period, everyone must leave the tent a hundred meters away. After I come out, you can send someone to collect the goods." Hua Kai said. The chief of Wujumqin looked at the prices of all the goods. He first wrote down 500 dan of snowflake salt. One jin of snowflake salt cost 2,200 bone coins, and 500 dan was 22,000 gold. Now 15,000 gold was left out of 37,000 gold. Looking at the remaining money, the chief of Wujumqin chose to exchange it all for grain. Wheat cost 3,700 bone coins per dan, and rice cost 4,500 bone coins (12 times the grain price in Guangxian City). This was unimaginable in the Central Plains, but it was considered a conscience price in the Wujumqin tribe.

A total of 40,000 dan of grain was not enough for the entire Wujumqin tribe to eat for two months.

"Alas, that's all I can say. Hua Kai! Uncle, what is our relationship? If you really marry Wu Ren Tu Ya in the future, then we will be a family. The population of the Wuzhumuqin tribe, including slaves and affiliated tribes, is close to one million. This is a drop in the bucket for the tribe!

A batch of spiritual medicines will be returned tomorrow afternoon, about 4,000 plants, including two sixth-grade spiritual medicines, worth more than 200,000 gold... Can you deliver more goods tomorrow, and we will count the spiritual medicines the day after tomorrow and then pay for these goods?" The head of the Wuzhumuqin tribe asked carefully.

Hua Kai hesitated for a while. The price of these ordinary goods is simply a world apart from that of spiritual medicines. If he only releases 40,000 stones of grain tomorrow, it will take him less than half an hour, and the day after tomorrow is the time to count the goods of the Wuzhumuqin tribe. Isn't this a waste of a day?

After thinking about it, Hua Kai agreed with the proposal of the head of the Wuzhumuqin tribe. If the other party has 4,000 spiritual medicines delivered tomorrow afternoon, it is not impossible to give them some goods first, so he nodded and agreed.

But Hua Kai regretted it after just ten minutes. The chief of Wujumuqin directly changed the four stones of grain to twenty stones, with a total value of more than 50,000 gold. He wrote two weapons of the sixth grade, thirty of the fifth grade, and more than ten thousand of the fourth grade and below. The total value of the weapons was 240,000 gold. Hua Kai roughly calculated the total value of silk, cotton cloth, sugar, tea, etc., which was close to 350,000 gold.

"Uncle, your goods are wrong! Didn't you say that the spiritual medicine is worth 200,000 gold?" Hua Kai looked at the other party and asked.

"There are more than ten days left, and spiritual medicine and strange stones will be sent back every day. You give these goods to me first, and I will make up for them with spiritual medicine, strange stones, and horses in a few days." The chief of Wujumuqin said casually.

Hua Kai felt that something was wrong, but he thought it was nothing. The Wujumuqin tribe would not cheat its own goods, right?

After a good sleep at night, Hua Kai stayed in the big tent for trading goods after breakfast the next day. He asked his uncle Wu and Xue Chen to deal with weapons and cloth. He asked people to surround the entire ground and surroundings of the tent with furs and prepare containers for food.

A few minutes after entering the big tent, Hua Kai came out of the big tent. The chief of the Wuzhumuqin tribe personally led thousands of elite soldiers of the tribe to move the food out of the tent little by little. Now the price of grassland slaves has dropped several times compared with before. The main reason is that the number of livestock has dropped sharply after the disaster and the grassland is short of food.

With these 200,000 stones of food, how much livestock seeds can the tribe save? These 200,000 stones of food are very useful in the hands of the chief of the Wuzhumuqin tribe.

200,000 stones of food sounds like a large amount, but in a tent of more than 400 square meters, that is, more than 20 tents, Hua Kai only needs a few minutes to fill the tent each time, but it exhausts thousands of elite soldiers of the tribe.

After two days and one night of busy work, all 200,000 shi of grain were moved away by the chief of Wujumuqin. After releasing the 200,000 shi of grain from the [Baoguang Glazed Bottle], there were only less than 40,000 shi of grain left. If there are too many slaves transported from Wujumuqin to Ordos this year, these grains may only be enough for the Hua family in Ordos this year.

However, the Hua family is not worried about the grain. This year, the 20,000 mu of farmland outside Huajiabao has grown well. The drought has all passed this year. It will be easier to go to the south to buy grain. When the grain in the space is used up, it can continue to accumulate slowly.

After the 200,000 shi of grain was transported away, Hua Kai began to slowly transport snowflake salt, cloth, etc. These things are easy to transport, but the weapons needed by the other party need to be handed over slowly. The Hua family is accelerating the production of low-quality weapons. Weapons above the fifth grade may take some time. The sixth grade can only be refined by Hua Kai using the family's luck value and [Weapon Shop].

The entire cargo handover lasted for three days, but it did not cause any impact on the Wujumuqin tribe. Those who participated in the handover were the most trusted people of the chief of Wujumuqin.

On this day, Hua Kai handed over the 4th-grade weapons accumulated by the family to the chief of Wujumuqin. The remaining 4th-grade weapons will be handed over in a few days, but the 5th-grade weapons are much worse.

Hua Kai asked the chief of Wujumuqin about his requirements for each weapon, and refined more than 20 weapons from the [Weapon Shop] at one time, and then completed this transaction. The family's luck value was only more than 6,000 left after he used it. If he wanted to refine weapons again, he could only wait until he left.

On this day, Hua Kai received the spiritual medicine sent by the Wujumuqin tribe. This batch of spiritual medicines only had more than 400 plants, and the third-grade spiritual medicines were rare. Hua Kai knew that the spiritual medicines of the Wujumuqin tribe had been almost plundered by him, and he could only wait a few more years to have a big harvest.

The chief of Wujumuqin came to Hua Kai's tent. He came to tell Hua Kai about slaves and horses today.

"This time I plan to send 10,000 soldiers to escort this batch of slaves and horses to the Ordos tribe, 20,000 slaves and 13,000 horses." The chief of the Wujumuqin tribe was quite smart. He knew that Hua Kai could check the qualifications of the slaves, so he didn't let him choose. All slaves were priced uniformly and matched according to the ratio of men, women, old and young.

"Well! All slaves will be 1 gold each as long as they are sent to the Ordos tribe. A strong horse is 2 gold, and a fine horse is 10 gold. I will take all the Central Plains slaves that the Wujumuqin tribe can send to offset your debt!" Hua Kai said to the chief of the Wujumuqin tribe.

When it comes to debt, Hua Kai is very distressed. He found that once he opened the door to debt, he couldn't stop it later.

At first, he owed more than 100,000 gold, and it took a few days to pay it off. As a result, the chief of the Wujumuqin tribe found him and persuaded him again, and more than 200,000 gold of goods were owed. To date, the other party has owed 370,000 gold of goods.
