After Chengying proposed the trade, Saladin's eyes lit up obviously. What he had just discussed with the tribal leaders was the matter of going south to plunder the Roland Empire.

This kind of action happens almost every autumn. Grassland people only care about their cattle and sheep. It is difficult to survive the cold and severe winter. When the grass withers and turns yellow, the grassland will turn into a snowfield. At that time, there will no longer be any food supplements from nature. If you don't store enough food before then, you will die from freezing and starving.

This is a problem between wolves and sheep. The sheep eaten by wolves is tragic, but if the wolf does not eat the sheep, it will starve to death, and it also has to eat.

Moreover, the empire, which was regarded as a fat sheep, was also responsible for the war. The reason was very simple, that is, the empire strictly prohibited trade with the grasslands, and the fertile plains had enough grain production to feed the entire continent.

Salt and ironware are forged by those above the ore veins, but these will not be sold to grassland people. On the northwest grassland, there is nothing but grass, and the only way to get these is to plunder.

Chengying can guess this situation, after all, whether it is the Huns, Xianbei, or other alien races, they will face such problems when facing the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Roland Empire will not and cannot trade with the prairie people, because if they fatten up the prairie people, they will be beaten. But since Chengying said that they are from another continent, the basis for trade is established. The distance between the two sides is far away. There is no possibility of war at all. As the saying goes, there is no better partner.

As for how the other party transports the goods back, that is their own business. Saladin will secretly send people to investigate, but will not bear the transportation cost for the other party.

Chengying was very interested in watching Saladin, and nodded in satisfaction. The grassland people served them spontaneously, which was much more efficient than enslaving them after conquering the grassland.

"What kind of goods do you want?" Cheng Ying's implication is that we have whatever you want.

Without the slightest hesitation, Saladin said, "Food, a lot of food."

Chengying nodded and said, "Food can be traded, but I will not trade the grain grown. You are free to disclose your grain seeds and livestock, but I will not do so."

Hearing this, Saladin was silent for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "No problem, what's the difference between flour and wheat for us?" He said so, but he was secretly planning to send someone to spy on the crops grown in Chengying's mainland.

Chengying said this, of course, not because he really didn’t want to expose food crops. He didn’t believe that these grassland people had the ability to create viruses that specifically targeted their crop genes. He said this because organic matter is fermented and transformed by weeds and the like. out, there is no corresponding crop at all.

"If that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore." As he spoke, Chengying took out a few brick-like organic objects from the storage bracelet, and a waiter held them and distributed them to the leaders of the tribes.

This action did not arouse the doubts of the kings of the grassland. Obviously, storage devices also exist in this world. Even if they are rare, these big figures with heads and faces should have seen them.

Some people couldn't wait to taste the taste, but they were stared back by Saladin's veiled eyes. If the other party poisoned the food, wouldn't they want to take the kings of the grassland with them? It is necessary to be defensive.

Saladin summoned a waiter, who was like an eunuch in the palace, cut off a piece of organic matter with a machete on his waist, and handed it over. The waiter was not stupid, he was used to things like poison testing, and swallowed it without much hesitation.

The taste of the organic matter is not very good, because it is fermented food, even if it is processed, it is difficult to completely cover up the stench after fermentation. Fortunately, the waiter is not a pampered nobleman. After chewing out the sweet taste of starch decomposition, swallowed it, and reported to Saladin

"My lord, this is indeed qualified food. It can satisfy one's hunger like rice, but it doesn't taste very good." Compared with the Roland Empire, the rules in the grassland king's tent are much less, so the waiter's words are more straightforward.

Saladin nodded, and still didn't touch the organic object. He would try this kind of food only after confirming that the waiter was still fine for a while. It was not a problem for him to taste bad, anyway, he didn't need to eat it as a king. Those who grow things, as for his people and slaves, will only be grateful for the food brought by the great prairie king.

"How much food like this can your empire provide?"

Chengying replied without thinking, "How much, how much."

Saladin was calm on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart. The Roland Empire was so powerful that he didn't dare to say that he could have as much food as he wanted. It was really unconvincing for an overseas country to dare to speak such wild words.

"I can trade with you with grain ten times the weight of livestock. I want as much livestock as you have." Compared with the previous wild words, these words are more convincing.

The price difference of ten times is almost the difference between the price of grain and meat, and that is the processed meat, not the whole livestock. The price given by Chengying is already very affordable, and Saladin is also very moved.

As everyone knows, the cost of organic matter is almost equal to nothing. Weeds with twice the mass and a certain amount of energy can synthesize organic matter. It can be said that there is no food that is cheaper than this.

Even if the exchange ratio is [-] to [-], Chengying can make some money, but this is obviously not enough to satisfy Chengying. The scissors difference between organic matter and animal husbandry is not obvious enough.

"Other commodities can also be traded. After all, the transportation of food is not convenient, and there are more profitable trading items."

Saladin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he asked, "Can salt and ironware be traded?"

Needless to say, the role of iron to the prairie people, iron pots and shovels are good things, iron swords and gun heads are what they urgently need, and losses can be used to forge armor. The Northwest Army is no more than a chicken and a dog in front of them.

As for the salt, Chengying didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, he was originally a modern person, and if anyone was short of salt, even if it was a period of salt grabbing, the price of salt was the same.

But after time travelling, he realized that it was reasonable for ancient dynasties to specialize in salt and iron. Salt is not available everywhere, but it is essential for human survival. Unbalanced and dead.

In the grasslands where there are no salt mines and no sea, most of the salt obtained by people can only rely on the blood of livestock. To some extent, salt can even be regarded as the hard currency here.

Chengying was still a little hesitant at first, but after arriving on the moon, it is no longer possible to dry salt by sea water. Although the reserve salt is enough to last for 80 years, he didn't really want to sell it, but the price of the prairie people was too high. A catty of salt is exchanged for a cow, Cheng Ying pondered, it is not that there is no sea in the different world, and there is salt.
