Chapter 29 A huge profit!

The Stone Spear Team has grown to fifty people, and there are thirty new recruits training day and night in the training ground.

In addition to training stone spear techniques, the Stone Spear Team also practices spear throwing. It can be regarded as a unit capable of both long and short range.

The archers only need to practice bows and arrows, and completely abandon throwing spears.

If Qin Yu hadn't been good at close combat, he would have really wanted to teach the archer two moves.

It can also improve the archer's survivability to a certain extent when being approached.

……

……

The vast grassland is covered with snow.

The cold wind howled, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

A caravan of sixty people was heading against the wind, heading towards the west of the grassland.

"How far is it?" You Ming held his left hand in front of his body to resist the cold wind.

Jiang Li opened the map and looked at it for a long time, then said: "It will take about half an hour to walk."

You Ming nodded and stopped talking.

Half an hour later, the dragon tribe's caravan arrived at the first trading location of the trip.

——Wind Tribe.

Although they traveled all the way west, this place still belonged to the eastern area of ​​the grassland.

The Wind Tribe is considered a small tribe, with a population of only more than forty people.

The people of the Feng tribe naturally noticed the movement from the outside world.

When he learned that it was someone from the Dragon Tribe, the leader of the Wind Tribe ran out in excitement.

"Trading coal and stone? How to trade? I want to buy more!" the leader of the Wind Tribe asked.

Jiang Li nodded and began to slowly describe the transaction price planned by Qin Yu.

"Can it be cheaper?"

Listening to the price described by the other party, the leader of the Wind Tribe couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

"Clan Chief Feng, you must also know the function of this coal stone. It is an extremely rare thing, so it is expensive."

"When will your tribe's caravan come next?"

"It's impossible to tell..."

After a long time, the leader of the Wind Tribe gritted his teeth and bought five hundred kilograms of coal in one go.

Five hundred kilograms of coal and stone were traded for a total of six strong horses, twenty hides, five adult female slaves, and three adult male slaves.

Huge profits! What a huge profit!

As the saying goes, a good horse is worth a thousand gold, but at this time, only 200 kilograms of coal can be exchanged for six strong adult horses that can be used to form a cavalry.

In the future, many tribes on the grasslands will definitely regret their decision to exchange horses for coal and stone.

Jiang Li ordered his men to take down five baskets of coal weighing one hundred kilograms from the carriage and place them on the ground.

At the same time, they took away the goods used by the Wind Tribe for trading, and then headed towards the east.

On the way to the next trading location, Jiang Li opened the map, dipped his finger in some carbon ash and drew a circle on the location of the Wind Tribe. This circle was a symbol to express that trade had been completed or that it would be a sustainable trade target in the future.

It was Qin Yu who had explained it in advance.

……

About twenty minutes later, the caravan successfully arrived at the second trading location.

——Stone Tribe.

The Stone Tribe is a medium-sized tribe, with a population of more than a hundred, and the tribal atmosphere is relatively harmonious, so the caravan once again completed the trade in harmony and love.

The Stone Tribe also traded 500 kilograms of coal and stone.

But all horses were used, fifteen strong horses in total.

The so-called strong horse actually means that the horse's bones are relatively strong, but the horse is still quite thin. After all, people these days can't eat enough, let alone horses. Secondly, the strength and thinness of the horse is also related to the pasture. When the pasture is rich, the horse will be strong, and when the pasture is rich, the horse will be thin.

Most of the foreigners in ancient China chose to invade the Central Plains in autumn, when the horses were fertile.

I have to say that this makes sense.

...

After the transaction was successful, the caravan set off again in full swing, rushing to the third trading location.

Since the two trades went smoothly, everyone in the caravan thought that the same would happen next time, but they did not expect that the tribe at the third trading location was so ambitious that they became suspicious when they saw the goods carried by the caravan!

He wants to kill people and buy goods, how sinister!

However, the idea and starting point of this tribe are good, but it is still recommended not to set off.

It is not that easy for the caravan led by Jiang Li and You Ming, two military generals with explosive martial arts, to seize the goods.

The result is very realistic and skinny.

Not only did the other party not grab anything, but they also got in with a lot of people.

You Ming and Jiang Li teamed up to not only repel the enemy, but also captured five adult men.

"This time, the trading company didn't use a pound of coal in exchange for five slaves." You Ming joked with a smile.

"Be careful next time. Thanks to the Shield Ax Team's resistance to the sneak attack this time, we have the opportunity for the Stone Spear Team to counterattack with their spears." Jiang Li sighed.

You still have to be cautious when going out, the grassland is too dangerous.

You know, they gave away thirty kilograms of coal and stone last time. Who would have thought that they would try to grab it the next time they came.

Fortunately, the rest of the trade went smoothly. Three thousand kilograms of coal was sold out after only going to eight trading locations.

Since the caravan had run out of coal and stone, there was no need to go to the remaining seven trading locations, and the caravan began to return directly to the Dragon Tribe.

The caravan spent a night in the wild, but fortunately did not encounter any danger.

……

——Dragon Tribe Station.

At this time, it had been two days since the caravan set off.

Qin Yu couldn't eat or sleep well these past two days. He had been looking forward to the caravan coming back soon to prevent any accidents.

Until noon today, when he heard the news that the caravan had returned, his expression became excited and he ran out of the tent quickly.

In front of the west gate of Dragon Tribe.

"Hahaha, you two have worked hard this time. Eat something first, and then tell me about your harvest this time!"

Qin Yu laughed and pulled the two people into the tribe, and then ordered the tribesmen to make some food.

The two people in the tent devoured the food in the bowls. The caravan's food was not enough to fill their stomachs after being outside for two days, so they could barely fill their stomachs with one meal.

After eating, Jiang Li began to report on the caravan's harvest.

"Three thousand kilograms of coal and stone were traded for a total of thirty-three strong horses, sixty hides, fifteen male slaves, fifteen female slaves, twenty prairie sheep, two hundred kilograms of food, and eighty kilograms of meat."

"Eight of the fifteen trading sites were visited, two of which failed, and two battles took place and sixteen male slaves were captured."

Qin Yu felt excited while listening.

Three thousand kilograms of coal can be obtained from the veins in one day.

To facilitate the collection of coal and rocks exposed on the surface, Qin Yu estimated that it was probably tens of thousands of kilograms, which is about dozens of tons.

Just one trade trip brought forty-six people to the Dragon Tribe.

Although sixteen of them were captured...

Now the population of the Dragon Tribe has exceeded the 200 mark and reached 242 people.

If it hadn't been for the war with the Black Wolf tribe, the tribe's population would have been close to 300 people at this time.

Qin Yu had been holding this tone in his heart. At this time, there was still a certain gap in strength between the two sides. They were more than capable of defending but insufficient of attacking. Therefore, Qin Yu decided to develop for a few more days.
