Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

As a result, Mao Dun eliminated the last batch of unstable elements among his subordinates.

After eliminating Donghu, Maodun took advantage of the victory to pursue, expelled Dayue Clan to the west, annexed Loufan and other grassland tribes to the south, and even invaded Great Qin, regaining the territories previously recovered by Meng Tian, ​​expanding his power all the way to the Great Qin. Northern Territory.

So far, the power of the Huns has come to its peak. All ethnic groups in the grassland respect the Huns, and Mao Dun single-handedly established a huge Huns empire.

The greatest humiliation Liu Bang suffered in his life, the siege of Baideng, was created by Maodun himself.

After Zhao Che's plan, the food from the Xiongnu had been transported to Daqin in large quantities.

Now the entire Huns add up, all the food is not enough to support their consumption for a month.

Therefore, all the hopes of the Huns can only be pinned on this year's harvest.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that with the help of Zhao Che, a locust plague that was about to sweep across the entire Xiongnu had already been secretly brewed in the Xiongnu.

Throughout the feudal era, China's level of scientific and technological development has always been at the top of the world.

Therefore, East Asia in the feudal era was like a cradle of monsters, shrouded in a mysterious and powerful color.

After all, in the eyes of the Huns, their bravery is definitely stronger than that of Daqin.

Ying Zheng is also thinking about it now, isn't he just a little Hun?Do him!
Coincidentally, although Zhao Che has made many contributions, he actually does not have much prestige in the court and army.

There are still a few people who support him in the court, such as Meng Yi, Wang Ben, Li Si and others.

But in the army, Zhao Che had no reputation at all.

……

Time passed day by day, and the days until the official war between Daqin and the Huns were already counting down.

The entire Daqin seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and there was a chill atmosphere everywhere.

In Shangjun, the 30 army has already assembled in secret, waiting for the arrival of Meng Tian and other generals at any time, and then they can start sending troops to the northern grasslands.

At this time, a "secret" smuggling channel opened up on the border between Shangjun and the Huns.

"Turba, I brought this batch of equipment here at the risk of death, so you will exchange this bit of food with me?"

A man dressed as a businessman with a long beard was looking at the Huns in front of him with an ugly expression.

"Hahaha, Mr. Qiu, of course I know your equipment is very precious, but my food is not bad, this is our last stock!"

Turba said with a smile.

"Turba, don't try to trick me. The autumn harvest is coming soon. You should have a bumper crop this year, right? You still want to raise prices at this juncture. It seems that you don't plan to continue doing business with me? "

Qiu Ping stroked his beard and said with a gloomy face.

"How can Mr. Qiu think of me so much? We have been working together for so long, don't you understand my character, Turba?"

"It's not that I don't want to take out more food. It's really all the stock I can take out. After all, there are still a few days before the autumn harvest. We have to keep some food, don't we?"

"Well, how about I give Mr. Qiu a satisfactory answer for our next transaction after we harvest?"

……

Turba saw that Qiu Ping was a little angry, and quickly restrained his attitude just now, and said very kindly.

Relying on smuggling with Qiu Ping, Turba has obtained a large amount of military equipment from him.

The Huns have been coveting Daqin's standard armor and bronze weapons for a long time. The only pity is that Qiu Ping couldn't get a Qin crossbow. That thing is so powerful, but the control is too strict.

After Turba got these weapons, his status in the Huns also increased, and now he has become a popular man around Touman.

And Turba didn't lie, the food in front of him was indeed the limit he could get, and the Huns didn't have the habit of storing food.

The smuggling transaction between Turba and Qiu Ping has been going on for a long time. Turba and Qiu Ping have exchanged all the food that the Huns can produce with weapons.

In fact, Turba originally planned to exchange livestock, cattle and sheep with Qiu Ping, but Qiu Ping didn't want those, only food.

The weapons and equipment that the Xiongnu have now exchanged for are enough to arm an army of 10 people.

But these are far from enough for Turba and the Huns.

With these weapons and equipment, Touman has seen the hope of unifying the northern grasslands, and even taking control of the Central Plains.

Therefore, Turba came with Touman's order this time, and he must establish a good relationship with Qiu Ping and exchange for more equipment from him.

It's a pity that the Xiongnu's food reserves are running out, and that's all they can take out now. If they want to exchange the rest, they can only wait for the autumn harvest.

However, this amount of food is obviously much less than before, and it is not at the same level as Qiu Ping's weapons and equipment. This is also the reason for Qiu Ping's anger.

Turba was also reluctant to have so many weapons and equipment taken back by Qiu Ping, and he did not dare to offend Qiu Ping with strong means.

After a full meal, Turba can still understand that Qiu Ping is the hope of their rise to the Huns, so unless it is absolutely necessary, Turba will not do anything to Qiu Ping.

"Turba, don't pretend to me. It's not like you don't know what's going on in Daqin. This year, the autumn harvest in Daqin has decreased in many places. It's the time of food shortage."

"Do you know that now in Xianyang, Great Qin, the price of grain is set a day, and even the emperor of Great Qin has used the savings in the treasury to relieve the disaster."

"I'm a businessman. I have expended so much energy just to make money. If after this period of time, when the autumn harvest is over and the price of grain stabilizes, do you know how much I will lose?"

……

Turba didn't understand business, but he also understood Qiu Ping's words.

But it was precisely because of these words that the doubts in Turba's heart were dispelled.

They have long heard about the situation of Daqin merchants, their status is very humble, only one level higher than slaves.

The reason for all this is said to be because the businessmen in Daqin are very cunning, thinking all day long about buying and selling, opportunistically seeking benefits for themselves.

After dealing with Qiu Ping for so long, Turba realized that what those people said was true.

Turba looks down on people like Qiu Ping from the bottom of his heart, but he is very valuable to the Huns now.

If it is used well, Daqin may have to be buried in the hands of these profiteers in the future.

The news of the reduction in grain production in Daqin had long been inquired by the Huns' spies. This was not only an opportunity for businessmen like Qiu Ping, but also an opportunity for the Huns to become stronger.

This time Daqin's grain production is reduced, the grain gap will definitely become bigger and bigger, and the price of grain will also rise rapidly.

Touman has already issued an order to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of Daqin.

Smuggling weapons and equipment, if it is found out, it will be at least the crime of the Yi tribe.

Touman was also worried that after Qiu Ping missed this business opportunity, would he take such a big risk again.

Therefore, Qiu Ping must be satisfied this time, so that they can continue to cooperate with Qiu Ping.

"Mr. Qiu, although we don't have much food in stock now, if you are willing to raise the price a little bit, I can get some more!"
