I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 52 The World!So dirty!So filthy!

"This... What the hell is a cow?"

Li Mu stood in front of a gigantic ox nearly two meters high, pointed at the ox and said in surprise.

"Mr. Li, you don't know. This is just an ordinary strong bull. There is also a kind of Beihai black bull, which is taller and stronger."

Li Simo pointed to the group of backbone people who were driving the cattle.

According to Li Simo, these backbone people came from Mobei, a magical place where they have to wear leather clothes all summer.

There used to be a buddy named Su Wu who went there and experienced what it means to be messy in the wind.

Thief feeling!
As for what are these backbone people doing?
Two words, wool.

Through the introduction of Li Simo, a middleman, these Gulican people came to trade after driving cattle for thousands of miles.

Beihai Big Black Bull is famous.

It is the specialty of these Gullicans.

According to the agreement, Li Simo took the woolen cloth to Mobei to trade with them.

But because Li Simo, the middleman, made too much money from the price difference.

As a result, people in Gulican had objections, saying that the price had to be renegotiated.

Black-hearted middleman Li Simo, Boss Li, went crazy at that time, so I took the goods all the way to your place where you don’t need to pay a lot of trouble!Believe it or not, I will beat you again?
When the Turkic people used to be powerful, they often beat up the surrounding tribal brothers at every turn, so Li Simo was very arrogant towards these remote tribes.

When Ashina was the boss, he not only beat up the surrounding tribal brothers, but even occasionally brought two 10,000+ younger brothers to Hekou to pretend to be aggressive for Li Shimin.

The degree of arrogance is much stronger than that of Li Simo.

But he can't be arrogant now, he is acting as a watchdog for Li Shimin in Chang'an City!Sometimes it coincides with a major festival, and I have to dance a few Huxuan dances to entertain Li Shimin.

Every time Li Shimin watched Ashina dancing Hu Xuanwu, his heart was undoubtedly sour.

Li Shimin: I told you to pretend to be aggressive in the past, but now I see if you still dare?

The backbone people heard Li Simo's mention of hard work, and immediately put forward their opinions.

The king of the county, if we drive the cattle over by ourselves, will we be able to save such a hard work?
Li Simo was stupid at the time, why do you want to be so picky?Let me earn some price difference and I will die!
The key person said that if we have a small family and a small business, we can save as much as we can.

Li Simo was completely speechless, let's go!You can do whatever you like!
Then the backbone people drove the cattle across the Gobi, across the grasslands, across the Yellow River, and came to Hetao.

The journey was undoubtedly hard, but they felt it was worth it.

Because after omitting the price difference from the unscrupulous middleman Li Simo, the transaction price they got was that one healthy cow could be exchanged for five bolts of woolen cloth, and if it was the top-grade Beihai black cattle, they could even exchange ten bolts of woolen cloth.

So they think it's worth it.

Li Mu hadn't heard of backbone people before, so he asked Li Simo to find out.

After Li Simo's introduction, Li Mu knew that the place was where Su Wu used to herd sheep!

That said, he was impressed.

According to Li Simo, there are two main active tribes in that place, one is the backbone people in front of you, and the other is called the servant bones.

The backbone men are rich in cattle, and the bone men are rich in horses.

The cattle are the famous Beihai black cattle.

The horse is the famous Jinshan chasing wind horse.

As for why they are willing to start a business in such a difficult place?

Because they couldn't deal with the Turks, they were driven over.

Their relationship with the Turks is like the relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty today.

In other words, Datang is now the boss of their boss, commonly known as Big Brother.

So when these people heard that Li Mu was from Chang'an and was a relative of Tian Khan, they were shocked and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Ah! Honorable nobleman of the Han family, please allow us to pay you the highest respect!"

If Li Mu hadn't stopped them in time, maybe this group of guys would have done what Li Simo did in Chang'an, taking a knife to their faces.

Speaking of the tradition of scratching one's face with a knife, it is also a basic operation of grassland people.

When Li Simo and Ashina Dubi had not slashed his face twice on the spot when they went to Chang'an to accept the surrender, they would probably be watching the gate together in Chang'an!
Li Mu looked at these backbone people wrapped in animal skins, and finally understood why they traded woolen cloth. Why is this level no different from that of primitive people?

It is said that many people freeze to death every year!

"Dear nobleman of the Han family, I heard that you brought this precious woolen cloth here. We would like to ask you to sell it to us at a lower price."

These backbone people actually know how to bypass Li Simo and go directly to Li Mu to discuss business, it seems quite smart!
"Bold yellow-headed beards, how dare you break your promise."

Li Simo's beard trembled with anger. If Li Mu hadn't been there, he might have drawn his sword right away.

People in the Tang Dynasty despised the Turkic barbarians, and the Turkic people despised other tribes and barbarians. Anyway, this is how the world is. Everyone despises each other and seeks a sense of superiority.

Li Mu pondered for a while. Although Li Simo was a little black-hearted, his loyalty to Li Shimin was still acceptable. There is no doubt about this, after all, history has proven it.

Therefore, Li Mu still felt that it would be more reliable to cooperate with Li Simo, and there was no need for extra complications.

Therefore, the request of the backbone cannot be agreed, and it is most appropriate to leave everything to Li Simo.

At least one must show trust in Li Simo, support a group and suppress a group, this is an eternal truth.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for being helpless. Maobu has been handed over to the king of the county with full power. You can discuss it with him."

After hearing this, the backbone man nodded in disappointment.

Li Simo, who was next to him, was going crazy with joy after listening to it. He glanced at Li Mu very gratefully, and then saluted Li Mu to express his gratitude.

Li Mu smiled and made a please-go-it-yourself gesture.

"How is it? Do you want to trade?" Li Simo asked very embarrassingly.

"Can't it be cheaper? You see, the king of the county, these cattle are the best healthy cattle. Our people have traveled all the way through mountains and rivers. Many cattle died on the way. The cattle that can survive here are all The best cow, please think about it again!"

But no matter how emotional the backbone person said, Li Simo still had a determined face, and there was no way to lower the price!

How can I maintain a simple and unpretentious princely life if I don't earn some middleman's price difference?
So it's no use pretending to be pitiful with me, you bunch of soil turtles. This king has a hard heart and a firm mind.

When the backbone people heard that they couldn't negotiate the price, they looked very disappointed, and then said that they wanted to discuss it.

Li Simo waved his hand, like chasing flies, doing whatever he wanted.

Then several backbone leaders gathered around and muttered together.

"Qijin, this woolen cloth is really good, it can keep you warm. With these woolen cloths, we can survive the next north wind."

"Yeah, Jin Jin, the Shiwei people robbed our cattle and sheep last year, didn't they just rely on the good fur to keep them warm?

We were no match for them before, but if we had such good woolen cloth, we would be able to rob them of their cattle, sheep and women. "

"But such a good health cow, it's not cost-effective to exchange such a little wool!"

"Chun Jin, listen to me, as long as we have wool cloth, are we afraid that we will have no cattle and sheep? Just grab it!"

"That's right! If the cattle and sheep are gone, we can rob them, but if the tribe is frozen to death, it will be a big loss."

The backbone leader felt that what the tribesmen said made sense. As long as the tribe survived the cold winter and the population increased, its strength would also increase. With strength, is it afraid that there will be no cattle and sheep?
So he decided, change!
He turned his head and bowed to Li Simo.

"Honorable King, we have decided, and we will trade at your price."

Li Simo smiled at the time, and opened his arms to hug the backbone leader.

"Haha! My friend, your decision is wise."

Then he turned around and told his younger brother to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods.

After the wool cloth was shipped out, Li Mu almost rolled his eyes.

What the hell, Li Simo, a black-hearted middleman, shipped out all the defective woolen cloth.

Fuck!
This guy's conscience was really eaten up by dogs. Is there such a thing as a prairie brother?
Li Mu asked himself what kind of conscience he had fed the dog long ago, but he couldn't be so black-hearted as Li Simo.

Brothers in the prairie have poor conditions in their families, and they trek across mountains and rivers to transport some souvenirs to trade. Not only do you lower the price, but you also shoddy it.

It's really heartless.

Li Mu really couldn't stand the little bit of conscience that was left, so he planned to...turn his head, close his eyes, and keep his eyes closed.

However, the backbone of the family is full of joy, and they are grateful to Dade.

"The county king is benevolent, Mr. Li is merciful!"

world!So dirty!So filthy!
