It's just that since the Han Dynasty, a "salt and iron official camp" policy has been implemented, and only the government can sell salt.Later dynasties continued to use this measure, so selling salt became an extremely profitable industry.
Even in some dynasties, half of the tax revenue came from salt tax.
However, the price of salt in the Tang Dynasty was not high at all. "New Book of Tang Shihuo Zhi" records that "Tianbao and Zhidejian cost ten cents per bucket of salt".In other words, during the Tianbao period, a bucket of salt cost only ten Wen.
In the Tang Dynasty, a Douhe is about 12.5 catties. In other words, 12.5 catties of salt cost 50 yuan, which is really not expensive.
Until Tang Suzong's period, when the "Salt Discussion Law" was implemented, the imperial court monopolized salt on the spot, and the government sold it at the end of the day, so that the price of salt soared, rising to 110 yuan per bucket of salt, which was really unaffordable.
It is precisely because the price of salt is too high that there are a large number of private salt dealers.
Huang Chao, who accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty, was born as a private salt dealer.
So to some extent, the price of salt also determines the fate of the country.
And even in the late Tang Dynasty, the price of 110 cents a bucket of salt was not as exaggerated as the price of salt on the grassland.
In Chang'an City, the price of a sheep is about two guan.
At the price of Chang'an, a sheep can be exchanged for two hundred buckets of salt.But on the prairie, even a liter can't be exchanged.
Two thousand percent profit!
Li Wangyou then cursed secretly in his heart, he really is a damn profiteer.
"Da Lang, don't go to exchange salt, I don't have to eat salt." Li Wangyou didn't have the nerve to ask Ah Dian to exchange sheep for "high-priced salt".
As a guest of the Hult tribe, how could he have the nerve to eat such expensive salt.Besides, after he woke up, although he didn't go out of the tent, Li Wangyou knew that the Huerte tribe was not rich just by looking at the furnishings in the tent he was in.
According to Ah Duan, this tent was still the tent of the leader of Xijie.
It can be seen that the tent of the leader of the Huerte tribe is so simple, even a little shabby, how can Li Wangyou say that he wants to eat salt.
Seeing what Li Wangyou said, Ah Tuo fell and didn't insist, after all, he was also heartbroken to exchange the sheep for a little salt.
In this way, under the warm invitation of the leader of Xijie and Ah Tuan, Li Wangyou stayed in the Huerte tribe to recuperate.
He fell from the sand boat, mainly due to flesh injuries, but luckily he didn't hurt any bones.
Therefore, after lying in the tent for a few days, he was able to walk on the ground.
On this day, Li Wangyou finally walked out of the tent with the help of Ah Dian, ready to go out to bask in the sun and get some air.Lying in the tent for several days in a row really suffocated him.
After leaving the tent, what Li Wangyou saw was a small tribe full of vitality.
Under the blue sky, in the Huerte tribe formed by dozens of tents, the children happily chased each other.The tribal men rode horses and waved their leather whips to drive flocks of cattle and sheep.The women of the tribe gathered together in groups of three or four, doing all kinds of housework, not letting out bursts of laughter like silver bells...
Everything in front of him was so vivid that Li Wangyou, who had finally escaped from the sand robbers and wolves, couldn't help but have a sore nose and almost burst into tears.
Li Wangyou was really moved by life, and when he felt that it was good to be alive, he saw many young women from the Huerte tribe running up to him in twos and threes. Without any explanation, he stuffed a bunch of colorful flowers into his arms. Arrow feathers with ribbons.
Even Ah Tuan's younger sister, Ya Ruo, did the same.
Before Li Wangyou could react, these young women from the Huerte tribe covered their mouths and snickered and ran away one by one, leaving Li Wangyou who was confused, so...
1018 Folkways open
Ah Tuo laughed heartlessly beside him, making Li Wangyou very depressed, so he could only ask, "Da Lang, what exactly do you mean?"
"Haha, as I said before, if you show up in the tribe with these 26 fangs, the girls in the tribe will definitely chase after you. These feather arrows mean that they like you and are willing to spend the night in your tent. "
What Ah Tuo said made Li Wangyou's jaw drop in shock...
Overnight?
Is the folk customs of the Huerte tribe a bit too open?
"Which girl you like, you can hang the feather arrows she gave you at the door of your tent." A-Dang smiled and pointed to the large bundle of feather arrows in Li Wangyou's hand.Winking at Li Wangyou, he said with a smile: "Whose feather arrows you hang, that girl will sneak into your tent at night. With so many feather arrows, you are the most popular man in the tribe, tsk tsk, back then I I hunted down three wild wolves, but only received five or six feathered arrows."
Ah Tiao threw a man's tacit smile at Li Wangyou, and continued: "This feather arrow belongs to my sister Yaruo. She is a flower in our Huerte tribe. Li Wangyou, you Let’s hang my sister’s feather arrow tonight! She will definitely satisfy you.”
For a moment, Li Wangyou even felt that Ah Tiao's tone of voice was very similar to that of bustards soliciting customers in those picture buildings and brothels in Pingkang Square in Chang'an City.
Pushing one's own sister into other men's tents, is this a human thing?
The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and he murmured: "Don't you Tiele people need to get married?"
Ah Du looked at him strangely: "Get married? Why do you want to get married? We Tiele people don't have this habit. The strongest man can get the favor of more women and give birth to more strong children! In this way, the tribe Only then will it become stronger and stronger! Weak men are not worthy of being favored by women."
Li Wangyou was completely speechless, the customs of the Tiele people are really unacceptable...
But maybe this is the way of survival of the grassland people. Although Li Wangyou finds it incredible, he is unwilling to comment on it.
The living environment of the grassland is harsh, and the Tiele people's way of survival and reproduction naturally has its reasons.Although Li Wangyou disagreed, he would not criticize or make irresponsible remarks.
He couldn't help but look down at the pile of feathered arrows in his hand, feeling hot.
Li Wangyou is not some kind of Liu Xiahui who can sit still, if he encounters such a good thing with a girl who takes the initiative to "dating a gun", if he says that he won't be moved, it is purely deceiving himself.
It's just that all he cares about now is his wife and newborn child who are far away in Chang'an City, and he really doesn't have the heart to "sow and fertilize" the grassland.
What's more, Li Wangyou is not a vulgar person.
Although besides Su Changqing, he is also accompanied by the blonde Europa girl Afro, it doesn't mean that he will think like a stallion with only his lower body.
For Li Wangyou, in this life, being able to grow old together with Su Changqing and accompanied by Afuluo is already the greatest satisfaction in life.
Of course, Li Wangyou didn't know that right now, during the period when he was captured by the sand bandits, Su Changqing actually married a wife in place of his husband, married him another wife, and took in a new concubine.
It is estimated that when he returns to Chang'an, he will also have a headache because of this.
As for whether this guy will be secretly happy in his heart, that's unknown...
Li Wangyou didn't hang those feathered arrows at the door of his tent, which made all the girls in the Huerte tribe very disappointed.When Ah Duan's younger sister, Ya Ruo, delivered the meal to Li Wangyou, her eyes were full of sadness, as if she felt that Li Wangyou was puzzled.
In this regard, Li Wangyou can only pretend to be an ostrich, pretending not to see it.
The girls of the Huerte tribe were enthusiastic, but Li Wangyou could only say sorry secretly in his heart.
He was recuperating in the Huerte Tribe. After a few days, the injuries on his body have healed a lot, at least he can move without hindrance.
This day, Ah Duan excitedly ran over to find Li Wangyou: "Li Wangyou, I've got someone to fix that car for you. Come on, take me to try it out quickly. Don't lie to me, Is that car really capable of running without being dragged by animals?"
Li Wangyou's sand boat capsized because the wooden axle broke.
The broken sand boat was dragged back by A Duo and the others.
Although the Tiele people are grassland nomads, they also have horse-drawn carriages.And because the carriage wheels they use are very tall, the Tiele people are also called tall carts by the Han people.
