Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 352 The advantage is in me
Gyeongju.

By the Jingshui River.

Near midnight, a convoy full of cargo came here with dimly lit lights.

The leader looked around, his cautious appearance looked extremely cautious, as if he was afraid of some monster suddenly rushing out of the night.

After driving another distance, we have reached the border between Liu Song and Hu Xia.

I saw the leader take out a bone whistle from his bosom.Gently blowing, there is actually the sound of birdsong, which spreads far and far in the dark night.

The rest of the convoy also stopped moving after hearing the birdsong, looking around.

"You are finally here."

A few breaths after the singing of the birds, the hoofs of the horses on the other side of the river sounded, and not long after, a group of Huns came to the convoy on horses.

The Huns first glanced at the number of convoys and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right! That's right! The weapons you shipped last time were only half of this size. We Shanyu were very angry when we heard that!"

The Han people in the convoy shook their heads: "You must have heard about the incident in Chang'an recently. It is already rare to bring out goods under such circumstances, so how can you care about the number?"

"Ah."

But the Huns dismissed it, and sneered at the reasons the Han made.

"Your family is so powerful in Guanzhong, how can such a trivial matter be handled well?"

A wry smile appeared on the corners of the Han people's mouths: "Today, the aristocratic family is extremely suppressed and a large amount of our land has been confiscated..."

"Otherwise we wouldn't have come here to do business with you, would we?"

When the Huns heard this obviously contemptuous words, their eyes seemed to burst into flames.

But before he could move, he saw one of the Han people raising the arrow in his hand.

This place is not far from the station of the Changning Army in Gyeongju. If the Changning Army was disturbed, most of these Huns would not be able to escape back to Tongwan City alive.

"good very good!"

The Huns laughed back in anger, no longer fighting over this point.

"I want to inspect the goods!"

"can."

He casually lifted the cover of a truck, revealing the contents inside.

Weapons, and iron farm implements!

But soon the Huns became furious: "What the hell is this?"

Weapons, why are many of them curved?

Why are farm tools rusty?

These things, to put it bluntly, are steel, but to put it bluntly, they are garbage!

The Han people beside him explained calmly: "Now these things are contraband ordered by the emperor himself, how can we get the newly made and intact weapons?"

"Having these is already very good, if you are not satisfied..."

"Can not!"

The Han people are completely single.

This transaction is not about the Han people begging the Huns to do something, if you are not satisfied, just pull it back!
The Huns gritted their teeth and didn't say much, but asked people to check the other cars.

After the inspection, the face of the Huns improved a lot, because the grain in the cars behind was not short of catties or taels.

As for all Chen Liang...

Who can eat new food every day?It’s not bad to have Chen Liang!

Since Liu Yizhen burned the granary in Tongwan City, Hu Xia has not slowed down in food for so many years.Now that there are more people from the original Xiqin and Rouran, if there is no more food, maybe Helian Bobo will start the battle against Guanzhong in advance.

After the Huns finished the inspection, the Han looked at him and said, "I want to inspect the goods too!"

"Please."

Compared with the large and small carts pulled by the Han convoy, the Xiongnu's goods are much more convenient.

War horses, furs, animal bones, and even fine wood.

These are absolute strategic resources.

There is always a shortage of war horses, and Liu Song can swallow as many as they have.

Fur can be used to make clothing to keep out the cold, so that Han soldiers can maintain their combat effectiveness outside the Great Wall.

Animal tendons and bones can be used to make bow strings and crossbow strings. Before rubber was popularized, these were the best materials, none of them.

Wood, naturally, is used to make handles for weapons.

The Han people frowned as they watched.

"What's this all about?"

It can be seen that Hu Xia is also very perfunctory to Liu Song.

Most of the fur is broken, only half of the muscles and bones meet the standard for making bowstrings, and a small half of the wood looks corroded.

"If you don't want to do business, you don't have to do it!"

"Do you think it's funny to insult us with this crap?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Han directly asked the convoy to turn around, apparently to end the business.

"Wait a minute."

The Huns stopped the Han people with a look of eagerness on their faces.

The Han people are right. The initiative is now in the hands of the Han people. In terms of business, they are still begging the Han people.

"Why hurt peace. Don't you Han people have a saying that "harmony makes money"? Since we are doing business, we can talk slowly."

"Talk slowly?"

The voice of the Han people suddenly raised an octave.

"Do you know that you may meet Song Army scouts here at any time? Do you know what a felony it is to smuggle weapons and food? Talk slowly? I will talk to you slowly!"

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the Han people insisted on leaving, the Huns also became angry: "Don't think we are stupid! Most of the things you want are materials for making ordnance..."

"Hey, that's right!"

The Han people did not refute, but just asked: "Then tell me, what other valuable things do you Hu Xia have? If you can bring gold next time, I promise to exchange gold with you!"

The Huns immediately shut up when they heard the words...

Hu Xia, poor!
In addition to these raw materials, they really can't come up with better things.

As for gold, which is hard currency everywhere, who would use it to complete the transaction of bulk goods?Are you crazy?
The Han people are still exporting with full firepower: "These things can be sold at a high price because of our family's relationship with the court! If you can produce other valuable things, we can definitely exchange them with you!"

The Huns arched their noses and stopped arguing with the Han.

"Okay, change it!"

"But you have to ensure that the quality of the goods next time is more than twice as good as this time!"

"impossible!"

The Han people rejected the Huns' request without hesitation.

"The imperial court is very strict with good goods! Do you want us to help you at the risk of losing our heads?"

But then the Han people hesitated for a moment: "It's impossible to improve the color, but it is feasible to double the quantity."

The Huns no longer struggled: "Yes!"

The quality is not enough, but the quantity is fine.

"You too, don't fool us with that kind of rubbish! Don't make an example!"

The words of the Han people were quite warning, and the Huns also agreed.

Seeing that the sky was getting bright, both parties were afraid of being discovered, so they hurriedly exchanged goods and left.

The Han people changed from the previous carts to war horses, and after walking less than a mile, they found a team of cavalry waiting for them.

When these "smugglers" saw the pair of cavalrymen, they were not panicked but overjoyed, and the leading Han raised their arms high: "General Fu! Here! Here!"

Fu Hongzhi couldn't help showing a smile when he saw the goods behind everyone: "Thanks for your hard work!"
