My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

The main task of going deep into Beiqiong this time was to sell glass, but in order to open up Beiqiong's market, in addition to glass, the goods they brought also included various grain, oil, wine, salt and other supplies.

Although many small tribes are rare in glass bullets, most of them buy relatively scarce salt and wine. Only a small number of tribes choose to buy glass cups.

The soldiers who came up to inspect the supplies just now were so satisfied after seeing the salt and wine.

Ren Donghao took the initiative to explain to Zhang Xifan: "Those soldiers have already gone to find their leader. Let's move the goods to the middle for you first. They will come over to choose later. Don't worry. Although I have never been to the Qier tribe, I have I’ve heard that this place has a good reputation and won’t rob businessmen.”

He looked at Zhang Xifan and the people behind Zhang Xifan, and then continued: "If they don't want to buy it later, you can also move the goods back."

He whispered in Zhang Xifan's ear: "Those Liuli and other small tribes can't afford them, but the leader of the Qier tribe can definitely afford them, and he should be able to sell them for a lot."

Zhang Xifan smiled. Of course he knew that the leader of the Qier tribe could afford glass. The trade of the small tribes in front was just a piece of cake. The Qier tribe that could afford to raise so many horses should be their target.

Although the Qier tribe is only a medium-sized tribe, it has a special identity. It is related to the current Beiqiong royal family.

It can be regarded as a declining noble. Only such a person will have more appeal after getting the Glass Sirius, and can shake the hearts of the people of Beiqiong even more.

Hearing that a caravan was coming, not only did they bring the wine and salt they needed, but it didn't take long for the leader of the Qil tribe to welcome Zhang Xifan and his party into the tent.

The leader of the Qier tribe kept looking at Zhang Xifan and his group, and asked tentatively, "Where did you come from as a caravan? How come you have never seen it before?"

After being translated by Ren Donghao, Zhang Xifan raised his hands to the leader of the Qi'er tribe with a smile on his face and said, "So that the leader will know that we were only doing business in the Central Plains, and we only learned about this trade route in Beiqiong through someone's introduction."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xifan added, "By the way, the person who introduced us to Beiqiong to do business was the shopkeeper of Zhou's Trading Company. I also spent a lot of money to learn about this trade route."

Ren Donghao translated it back as it was,
After hearing this, the leader of the Qier tribe showed a smile on his face. The Zhou family is one of the major families in the Central Plains.

It is also the Central Plains family that has the closest relationship with Beiqiong. Many caravans on Beiqiong grassland belong to the Zhou family. Zhang Xifan said that he was introduced by the shopkeeper of Zhou's trading company, which made it easier for them.

"Then why didn't you come here with the people from Zhou's Trading Company?"

Ren Donghao continued to translate.

Zhang Xifan responded calmly and said: "The Zhou family goes on business once every three months. There is still one month before they go on business next month. The people under me are all waiting for dinner and can't wait any longer, so they came here first."

The leader of the Qi'er tribe believed him a little more when the other party could tell him the rules of Zhou's trading firm.

But he didn't fully trust the group of people on the opposite side yet. After all, this information could be collected by asking anywhere.

"I heard that in addition to wine and salt, you also brought a lot of precious colored glaze?" the leader of the Qil tribe said proactively.

Zhang Xifan replied with a smile on his face: "That's right. I heard that you are a noble from Beiqiong. Naturally, nobles should be equipped with the best. We have specially brought these products to you this time. You can choose carefully later. .”

Ren Donghao translated again in time.

"Very good, let me see the glass you brought."

Then the group came to the center of the tent, where all the merchandise brought by Zhang Xifan and his group were placed.

In addition to the sold-out grain and oil, there is still a lot of salt, wine, and the most important commodity - glass.

At first glance, the leader of the Qil tribe was attracted by the various shapes of glass placed in the center.Not only him, but the entire Qil tribe was attracted by the glass that shone under the sun, greed flashing in their eyes.

Qil tribe narrowed his eyes, walked straight in, reached out and picked up a stylish glass.

"Is this for drinking?"

After translation, Zhang Xifan replied: "That's right. You can use it to drink wine or drink tea."

Zhang Xifan picked up a glass bottle with a stopper and introduced: "A glass bottle like this can also be used to carry some precious wine with you. After the wine is put in, you can clearly see the appearance of the wine. It’s perfect for entertaining distinguished guests.”

The Qier tribe leader's eyes flickered with greed, "These colored glazes aren't cheap, are they?"

Zhang Xifan smiled and said: "I got these colored glazes by chance. The price is naturally high, but we can accept transactions other than gold and silver."

"That is to say, if your tribe does not have gold, silver, jade and soft goods, it can still trade with furs, cattle, sheep and horses."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xifan added, "Wool is fine too."

The leader of the Qi'er tribe looked at Zhang Xifan in surprise, "Wool is also okay?" he said repeatedly.

Zhang Xifan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, as long as you send someone to shear the wool and collect it, we can also exchange it."

He thought for a while and asked doubtfully, "What do you want the wool for?"

Zhang Xifan doesn't know what to do with the sheared wool.It was sour and smelly, but Master Ning told him so, so he had no choice but to obey.

"Some people in the Central Plains like to use wool to make wool blankets. We collect them on the grasslands and sell them back to the Central Plains. We can also make some money."

It is true that some people use wool to make wool blankets, but those wool blankets are used to step on the ground, and not many people use them. After all, everyone can't stand the smell of sheep.

The leader of the Qi'er tribe didn't know much about the affairs of the Central Plains, so he became convinced as soon as Zhang Xifan explained.

I even despise them in my heart. These Central Plains people regard the things that the grassland people don’t want as treasures.

If it could be traded with wool, then this would be much easier.

"My tribe has a lot of sheep, but how do you calculate the price?"

What followed was some haggling. The leader of the Qil tribe knew that the wool was of no use to them, but since the Central Plains people thought it was useful, he didn't want to sell it cheaply.

Zhang Xifan's purpose was not to engage in fur business. The fur business was just incidental. He did not argue too hard and gave a lot of benefits to the leader of the Qier tribe.

In the end, both parties were smiling. After confirming the price, the leader of the Qil tribe began to select the goods.

In addition to the necessary wine and salt, he also selected a lot of glasses and glass bowls.
