Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

It turns out that as long as there is enough energy, the system is indeed useful. After looking at the map and analyzing the pros and cons, Jiang Qi found a solution to the problem.

He no longer considered how to occupy those places that were important to the Huns, but instead chose the very inconspicuous Eagle Mountain.

In fact, there are many minerals marked on the map, such as gold, silver, and gold (copper), which are all money in Daxia!

When he first saw it, Emperor Jiang Qi had an impulse to occupy the grassland at all costs, because by occupying it, their Great Xia would be able to sit back and enjoy wealth.

Fortunately, he held back and forced himself to turn his eyes away from the gold and silver mines.

What if they didn't move away? Some places were too far from Daxia, which was a problem in the past. Some places were not far from Tianlong City, and it was more difficult to occupy them than to occupy some strategic locations.

After looking around, he finally chose Yingshan.

Yingshan is located in the south of Bucheng, relatively close to Daxia and not a strategic location. Even if they occupied it, except for the lord of Bucheng, other Huns would not react much.

More importantly, there is Black Stone in Yingshan. Once we take it over, the winter heating problem in northern Xinjiang may be partially solved.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi picked up the map and left without even saying hello to Jiang Tuan. Jiang Tuan, who was tired from waiting, was speechless. Was this considered throwing it away after use?

No one knew that Jiang Tuan was speechless. After Jiang Qi discussed with his trusted ministers, he ordered Zong Zhengliang to capture Yingshan.

However, he did not tell anyone about the black stone in Yingshan. It was a serious matter and it was inconvenient to contact them. It would be very troublesome if the news was leaked.

So Zong Zhengliang only knew that he had to take over Yingshan, but he didn't know why he had to take over Yingshan.

If he doesn't know, then he doesn't know. He and Jiang Qi have been king and minister for many years, and he knows that there must be a reason for the other party to do this, but it is not convenient to tell him now.

Seeing that Zong Zhengliang wanted to put away the doubt on his face, Ning Song continued: "If tea leaves cannot be exchanged for Yingshan, then add snow salt. If snow salt is not enough, then take out the sugar.

If these three things are not enough to impress Bu Hu, then we can only attack him. Your Majesty’s plan cannot fail.”

Was Bu Hu moved? The answer is yes, and deeply moved.

Bu Hu was a somewhat greedy businessman. He was very tempted when he saw so much tea and snow salt. If he did not need to maintain the face of his city lord and the Huns, he might have agreed immediately.

In order to avoid appearing too anxious and to be able to bargain, he asked the Daxia merchant some questions seemingly nonchalantly.

"Are you going back to the capital of Daxia? Why are you back so soon? Where did you get these tea leaves and snow salt? And what about what you said about wanting Yingshan?"

The Daxia merchant was not afraid of Bu Hu asking, but was afraid that the other party would not ask. He was even more afraid that the other party would immediately refuse once he heard that he wanted Yingshan, so he had to think of other ways.

Now that the other party asked, he repeated his prepared speech to the other party.

The Daxia merchant told Bu Hu that the reason he came back so soon was because he could return to the capital of Daxia, but he stayed in Zhen'an City for two days and then came back again.

The tea and sugar were brought by caravans sent by the noble families in the capital. The reason they brought so much was because wool was selling like hot cakes in the capital.

The merchant told Bu Hu that toys made of wool were now sold all over the capital, and even some slightly wealthier families would make one for their children.

What’s even more exaggerated is that some caravans with vision have already bought a lot of wool from the capital, preparing to sell it elsewhere, so as to make more profit.

This means that as the caravans travel, Daxia's demand for wool will grow.

Because of this, they were in urgent need of a large amount of wool, but they were few in number and needed a lot of wool, so they couldn't bring so much wool back to Daxia at once, so they needed a transit point.

After seeing it, they thought Yingshan was good, not far from the border between Daxia and Xiongnu, and convenient for transportation. So they brought some tea and snow salt with them, hoping to use these things to exchange for the right to use Yingshan.

As for how long it will need to be used, it depends on how the wool sells. If it sells well, it will be used longer. If it doesn’t sell well, it may not be used next year.

However, no matter when it is used, the Daxia merchants promised to provide a certain amount of tea and snow salt to Bu Hu every year, which is regarded as the usage fee of Yingshan.

In order to increase the persuasiveness, the Daxia merchant specially brought Bu Hu several very finely made plush toys.

After Bu Hu got the toys, he thought they were really good. But as an adult, he couldn't imagine that these things could be sold like hot cakes in Daxia.

However, when he returned to the backyard and gave two of them to his little granddaughter, things suddenly went beyond his expectations.

Not only his little grandchildren and young children, but even his older children looked delighted when they saw those brightly colored so-called toys made into big insects, cows, sheep, horses, wolves and the like. He felt that he might have underestimated these things.

When the Daxia merchant met Bu Hu again, he was no longer surprised that the other party wanted an insignificant mountain as a transit point for wool, but instead discussed how much tea and snow salt should be given every year. He felt from the bottom of his heart that the general was really amazing, as he could make Bu Hu give in with just a few things made of wool.

Regarding this, Zong Zhengliang said that it was not his credit, but all thanks to His Majesty, the person hiding in the dark, and Ning Song, who were capable enough to think of using this method to achieve their goal.

A few toys were just to dispel some of Bu Hu's doubts. In order to get the other party to hand over Yingshan, more things were needed.

After bargaining, both parties agreed to exchange Yingshan for 10,000 bags of tea and 10,000 cans of snow salt every year. Of course, the Daxia merchant had paid so much, so he had the final say on the usage time. As long as he paid on time every year, Bu Hu could not take Yingshan back without authorization.

When the two parties are face to face, they both show expressions that they feel like they have been disadvantaged, but when they separate, they both show expressions that they feel like they have gained a great advantage.

In Bu Hu's opinion, he was definitely getting a great deal by exchanging an insignificant mountain for so many things.

The important thing is that Yingshan is on the territory of their Bu family. If those big businessmen dare to do something secretly, he will immediately send soldiers to kill them. At that time, the mountain will still be his and there will be no loss at all.

As for whether he would be retaliated against, he was not afraid at all. After all, they were just some businessmen. Da Xia should not come to the grassland to fight with him for those people.

In the eyes of Daxia merchants, it was a great deal to exchange a mountain from the Xiongnu for just some not-so-precious things.

At that time, the general just needs to secretly arrange some soldiers to come there, and that place will be the place of their Great Xia.
