Prince Regent's Concubine

Ling Qingshi nodded, "That's right, eating only meat is tasteless, how about adding some salt and spices, it tastes delicious, and you'll be happier if you can eat it?"

Daiqin ate several pieces of meat in succession, and the old man who brought him couldn't help but tasted it. After tasting it, he wanted to squat in front of the mutton and not move.

Dai Qin took a sip of the wine and let out a sigh of comfort, and only then did he plan to talk to Ling Qingshi about something serious.

"What deal do you want to make with us?"

Ling Qingshi: "Wool, mutton, horses, and cows are all I want. What are you willing to give?"

The grassland tribes will not give it to the big Chu horse. This is their advantage. Even if they don't participate in the dispute now, it is inevitable that the big Chu army will not want to wipe out the grassland tribe in one fell swoop. No grassland tribe would supply Da Chu with horses. This was their consensus.

Dai Qin said: "Except for horses and others."

Ling Qingshi didn't expect to talk about the matter of the horse right away, and this business wouldn't be done just this time, and it wouldn't be too late to talk about it later.

"This time we didn't bring much, only salt and tea, and exchanged wool and mutton with you. I know that wool is not very useful in your hands, but the fur left by you killing sheep last year should not be thrown away. Let me give you as much mutton as you can."

When Dai Qin looked at Ling Qing, seeing him talking like this, he didn't look like a businessman at all, and he showed his cards as soon as he came up.

Zhou Cunli was also a little anxious, and really wanted to pull Ling Qingshi aside to talk to the leader himself.

Dai Qin stared at Ling Qing for a while, and said, "You are a straightforward person, which is rare in you Dachu."

People in the grassland tribes are not stupid, especially those who can sit in the position of leader. They are even less likely to be stupid when they are in charge of tens of thousands of people below.

Ling Qingshi knew that they would not do anything casually. After all, his identity was here. Although Zha Dalan had tens of thousands of people, he was not enough to stand in front of the 20 troops of the Great Chu. If he moved, it would be equivalent to letting the entire tribe Dai Qin would not do such a loss-making business.

And since he never revealed his identity, Dai Qin was even more afraid of him.

Ling Qingshi called Zhou Cunli over, "He's talking to you about how to exchange, we want to see the goods first."

Dai Qin directly ordered the old man to lead the way. The sheepskin and wool were not separated, and the treatment was not very good. It was mixed with a strong smell of blood and mutton, and the smell was very unpleasant.They only use some leather, wool is not needed, and they are all piled up, and they are disposed of when they are needed, and they are thrown away when they are not used. Anyway, they will have a lot of leather before the next winter.

After smelling it, Zhou Cunli really wanted to tell Ling Qingshi not to use these things. Salt and tea were rare items for grassland tribes, but they were not cheap in Dachu, so it would be a waste to change them.

Not only did they think it smelled bad, but Dai Qin and others also hated it, especially the other herdsmen who heard that they were going to exchange salt for this thing during Ling Qing, their eyes looked like they were fools.

Ling Qingshi didn't say anything, only Zhou Cunli talked, and he asked about other grassland tribes near Daiqin.

Dai Qin sensed his intention, "You want a lot of fur?"

"Yes, if we don't have enough, you can send them directly to Jingmenguan, and I'll send someone to exchange them with you at Jingmenguan."

The people in the grasslands are no better than the people in Dachu, they are not so skillful with their hands, and there are not so many people. They can’t do things like rubbing wool, not to mention that there are other steps after processing, and finally they can be shaped into clothes, let alone Dai Qin didn't know what to do, and even if he knew, he was powerless.

What the prairie people are good at is grazing, so it's better to do what they are good at, and exchange these things they don't need for something useful.Dai Qin didn't bother, and offered to help Ling Qingshi by sending letters to nearby tribes. It's hard to say how many people will come.

On the other hand, Zhou Cunli did not know how to tell others that he exchanged all the sheepskins and wool with the tea leaves he brought. There are not many tea leaves, so it is profitable to exchange so many things.

The remaining salt is exchanged for mutton, which is their winter food, so they can't exchange much, so there is a lot of salt left.

Ling Qingshi planned to stay for another day or two to see if there were any people from other tribes, and if not, he would go back.

Ling Qing also negotiated a deal with Dai Qin, asking Dai Qin to collect wool and mutton for him, and then he would exchange what Dai Qin wanted with him, and he didn’t care how Dai Qin traded with other tribes .

For a bigger business, Ling Qingshi planned to wait for the snowstorm to pass before he brought Xiao Chuyi to discuss it.

The guests on the prairie must be warmly entertained. Although the winter is colder than usual, a bonfire party was held for them to sing and dance, and then they ate a big meal of mutton.

Ling Qingshi felt that their methods of cooking mutton were too crude, so he taught them how to cook a few dishes, and even asked them to grow bean sprouts in the tent in winter, or decorate the soil to grow vegetables, which is what the grassland lacks most.

His simple words instantly changed his image in the hearts of Zhadalan tribesmen, and he was not far from being worshiped as a god.

There was even a girl who wanted him to stay in Zhadalan in courtship, but that girl didn't even get close to Ling Qingshi, and was blocked by Bai Xue and two hidden guards. Their princess had someone at home, You must never abandon your husband and the son you don't have to go to someone else's house to be the son-in-law.

Knowing that there is someone in his family, the person who wanted to keep him as his son-in-law let him go.

Ling Qingshi touched his face, and felt that he was also a recruiter. He was going to tell Bai Xue, and let Bai Xue go back and tell her prince how popular he was outside.

The grassland people have a bright and generous personality, and they recognize Ling Qingshi and his party as friends, and their life in the grassland is pretty good.

After waiting for two days, Ling Qingshi only waited for wool from two small tribes, not much, Ling Qingshi asked Zhou Cunli to exchange them with salt.

Then they were about to leave, with a lot of things, and Daiqin arranged for people from the tribe to escort them.

Ling Qing did not take the remaining salt away, but left it in Zha Dalan as a deposit, and made an appointment with Dai Qin, and they would pick up the goods in half a month.

It took seven or eight days to go back and forth from the grassland. Xiao Chuyi's disaster relief had already arrived in Pingzhou from Jiazhou. Ling Qingshi got the news from the dark guard and went directly to Pingzhou with his things.

He went to the grassland to exchange for some stinky sheepskin wool, which really puzzled many people. Looking at Ling Qingshi, he looked like he wanted to see a prodigal woman again, and earnestly hoped that the prince would take care of him.

But the prince ignored these people, only grabbed his concubine's hand, and said softly, "Thank you."
