Chapter 195 Further Cooperation
"Of course, it's very good... By the way, this is a gift from Aqiaoli!"
The mixed-race barbarian lady took out a stone that could be grasped by a child's palm from her bosom, and placed it in front of Dean—the material of the stone itself was surrounded by colorful colors, so Dean couldn't see it at all, but The beautiful color makes the whole stone look very beautiful. 【First release】
Such a beautiful stone will undoubtedly attract the attention of some children.
Thinking about the age of the Northland beast tamer, Dean immediately understood what was going on, but Dean still said sincerely, "Thank you!"
A child who can give you his most beloved thing may have no value at all in the eyes of adults, but in the heart of that child, this thing is priceless.
Having obtained such a 'priceless treasure', it is natural to say a sincere thank you.
Seeing Dean put the colorful stone in his arms formally, Takili couldn't help laughing.
Undoubtedly, Dean's subconscious behavior won the favor of this mixed-race barbarian lady.
Of course, more is based on the previous blow.
If Dean was knocked to the ground before and couldn't afford to vomit blood, no matter how sincere Dean was, it would have little effect-for the barbarian race, strength is almost everything, and ancestral tradition is fundamental.
Based on tradition and advanced in strength, this has become the barbarian's rule of thumb.
However, the vast majority of emerald people can't bear it.
Naturally, Dean was definitely not among them—
"My shop is one of the rewards I got after I became a lord. It will be my main source of income for a long time in the future. I want to develop it better... So, Tucker Ms. Li, can you cooperate with me?"
Dean said frankly.
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"
Takli was taken aback.
"I am willing to buy the skins and herbs collected from you and your village at a fair price, of course, according to the rules of the barbarians.
Bartering is also possible! "
Dean said simply.
"This, this..."
The always frank mixed-race barbarian lady rarely hesitated in the face of such inquiries.
"Takeli can't make the decision. She has to consult the patriarch and several elders before she can make a decision!" Bu Qie, who had been drinking at the side, raised his head and said, "Of course, I am different from her. It's the patriarch of my own group, my brother, let's cooperate! I also have quite a lot of leather and medicinal herbs here... It's just that the prices offered by those merchants are too low, and I can't accept it at all!"
"of course can!"
Dean nodded happily.
In fact. It doesn't matter whether the purchase of skins and herbs starts from Buqie or Chektor.
Because, Dean believes that as long as he gives enough benefits, other and more barbarian communities will join in; after all, barbarians are also human beings. Although they have the tradition left by their ancestors, they also need to dress, What is the difference between eating and emerald people in some places?
The simplest thing is that in the snowfield dense forest, once the real winter comes, the prey will be scarce in an instant, and the barbarians who rely on hunting for a living, every winter is a sharpening, and many people simply cannot survive—— Most of the barbarians and bandits that appeared were also for this reason.
If he took out enough food, barbarians would naturally come to him.
After that, with the passage of time between the two parties, Dean was confident that he would tie the barbarians in the entire snowy forest to his chariot.
Of course, some details still need to be considered.
The first is the explanation to the Marquis of Vauban - the massive purchase of grain is enough to make any lord or county king worry a lot.
However, that's for later.
Now Dean only needs to 'take care' of a village with a population of more than 100 in Buqie.
Naturally, this was no problem for Dean.
"I can evaluate these herbs, but Pizi, I need to find someone to come here!"
After Dean nodded, Buqie couldn't wait to pull Dean into the warehouse of the stockade. Looking at the pile of leather and herbs, Dean carefully identified the herbs, and then nodded again—these The medicinal herbs have obviously been properly processed. Although they are not perfect, the synthetic medicines, essences and the like are more than enough.
"No problem, how much food can I exchange these herbs for?"
Bu Qie waved his hand, pointed at the herb and asked.
"According to the market value of these herbs, about 500 kilograms of grain can be exchanged, but I need to have 20% of the income and 10% of the transportation loss, so I can only give you about 350 kilograms of grain !"
After careful calculation, Dean directly stated the result of the calculation.
During this period, there was no concealment or deceit.
Dean is very clear about how to deal with barbarians - concealing it will only make the barbarians dissatisfied with you, but if you are honest, you will gain the barbarian's friendship, even if you clearly want to make a profit, as long as you don't let The barbarians are too disadvantaged, they don't care at all.
Sometimes barbarians are such a lovely group.
"make a deal!"
Almost as soon as Dean finished speaking, Buqie shouted loudly, and then, seeing Dean's stunned expression, he said with some embarrassment: "My community is very worried about food for the winter, although everyone I am working hard, but there is still a lot of shortage. If we have your food, we will at least have one more hope of survival...Those damn profiteers are only willing to give me 50 kilograms of food. Do they really think I am stupid? ?Damn it, next time I will never allow them to enter my village!"
After talking about it, Buqie obviously thought of something, and cursed loudly.
In response, Dean shrugged helplessly.
A trade between emerald merchants and barbarians. Always very unfair; unfair direction. Sometimes emerald people. And sometimes they are barbarians—the two sides are like a scale, you are high for a while, and I am high for a while; and in the process of you coming and going, gaps appear unconsciously, and precautions also arise.
This is a matter of profit-seeking businessmen and the greedy nature of human nature, and Dean can't manage it.
He only needs to see that Takiri on the side is also tempted.
"Bu Qie, I need some special medicinal herbs, among which the pistils of the overlord flower and the bone grass are the main ones. And..."
After returning to the tent, he took the wine glass from Buqie, and Dean said formally—these are the necessary medicines for the advancement of Gaosai and Xidi's physical training skills lv3→lv4.
Although Dean is not even lv1 now, Dean, who is used to planning for a rainy day, will not wait until things are imminent before making preparations.
Of course, it was best to ask Ryu Lang, the future big businessman, for such a thing.
However, it was obvious that the opponent was being overwhelmed by his request of "one hundred and fifty pieces of light steel armor, one hundred and fifty long swords, long spears, double the number of crossbows and a large number of arrows". If you want to return to Vauban County in a short time, it's not something that will be shown at all. It is impossible to see the figure of this future big businessman for at least four or five weeks.
And in four or five weeks, according to Dean's plan, not only [Misty Shadow Breathing Technique] and [Body Exercise (Emerald)] are on the right track, [Body Exercise (Gaosai)] [Body Exercise] Skill (Xiti)] also needs to reach a high level - this is the change in strength that Dean must spend four or five weeks in exchange for.
There cannot be any delay.
Otherwise, it will only lead to changes in the plan in the future, and even a situation where one step is late and every step is late.
Of course Dean would not allow such a situation to happen.
Therefore, the barbarians became a choice for Dean; after all, while drawing closer the relationship between the two parties, they also met their own needs. Dean would naturally not refuse to do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone.
"No problem, leave it to me, my brother!"
Buqie readily agreed.
Afterwards, they drank very simply, and the banquet was not over until Buqie passed out again.
Similarly, when Dean left the next morning, the Buqie patriarch was still drunk and stupefied. Dean, who had learned from the past, could only say goodbye to the other party.
“Hope to see you next time!”
Dean said goodbye to Takiri—this mixed-race female barbarian obviously had a stronger drinking capacity than Buqie. Not only did she not get drunk last night, but she also got up early in the morning.
"I will pass on your proposal to the patriarch!"
The half-blood barbarian said so.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply!"
Dean nodded, then got on his horse, and rode towards the direction of the Fechalen Knights' station.
The mixed-race female barbarian looked at the direction Dean was going away, and couldn't help lowering her head to think, while Bu Qie, who was still hangover, appeared beside her staggeringly, and said vaguely: "Those The old guy will definitely have to discuss for a long time. At that time, the clansman did not know how many people would starve to death... a bunch of old-fashioned, stiff-headed guys...Takeli, why don't you think about coming out with your own supporters like me? Do you want to create your own clan?"
"Humph!"
With a cold snort and a heavy punch, this was the answer of the half-blood barbarian.
"vomit!"
Bu Qia, who was hit in the lower abdomen, immediately knelt there and vomited loudly. After he vomited all the filth in his abdomen, he wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up. Looking at Takoli who had already left, he endured He couldn't help whispering: "I really don't listen to people's advice. I'm a mixed race, but I'm more stubborn than a real barbarian like me...Cut, who cares about her, anyway, continue to trade with my brother. My ethnic group, completely Can make it through the long winter!"
The barbarian patriarch who was whispering to himself roared loudly in the next moment: "Come on, find me the overlord's stamen, the fleshy bone grass, and..."
The loud voice was endless.
The people in the whole village took action.
