My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 94 Trading
Just when the atmosphere of the Hunye tribe’s bonfire party was reaching its hottest.

The atmosphere in Qiqige's tent, which was exclusively for the Hunye tribe, was about to reach its most intense point.

Lu Yi and Qiqige are reunited after a short separation, so naturally they are like dry wood and passion, and the spark of love flies.

After a long time, until the bonfire from the bonfire party gradually faded away and the bright moon climbed up into the night sky, the two of them embraced each other tightly.

"Lv Yi, my husband..." After the passion, Qiqige's face showed deep worry: "You will have more and more women in the future, will you leave me?"

Now that there are only her and Lu Yi, there is naturally no need to disguise herself anymore.

"Don't be silly, you are my first woman, how could I not want you?" Lu Yi blurted out without thinking.

Although he was alone until his death in his previous life, he had learned the essence of a scumbag through the influence of his surroundings and could speak fluently.

"Really?" Qiqige's worries did not dissipate, and she carefully asked Lu Yi for confirmation.

"Haha, of course it's true!" Lu Yi smiled and scratched her little nose and assured: "I promise you."

"I believe you, my husband." Qiqige smiled sweetly again after hearing that.

"Not only that..." Lu Yi gently held up her smiling face and kissed her forehead affectionately: "If one day, if I can become the king of the Central Plains, I will let our child become the king of the grassland, no matter whether he is a boy or a girl..."

"That day will definitely come!" Qiqige looked at Lu Yi with certainty, and then hugged Lu Yi tightly with a happy face.

……

After a night of relaxation, Lu Yi immediately got down to business.

In accordance with the alliance, the caravan was handed over to the Hunye tribe.

On the one hand, the caravan's goods were sold to the Hunye tribe at double the price, and on the other hand, war horses were purchased from the Hunye tribe at a low price.

On the caravan side, since Zhang Jia was building a base camp for Lu Yi in Jiuyuan, Zhang Xun, who was joining the team for the first time, was in charge.

Although Zhang Xun had the experience of being a bad boy in his early years, he has turned over a new leaf in recent years. His family's ancestral business foundation is still very solid, and he is very good at commanding people and clearing goods.

The person in charge of the Hunye tribe is still Hatler. Although he does not have the experience passed down from generation to generation by Zhang Xun, Hexutuo's deliberate training in the past few months has not been in vain. Although he is still a little rusty, he is almost there and has a certain level of organization.

Lu Yi looked at the older and younger brothers-in-law, who were interacting with each other with an awkward look on their faces, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

The Hunye tribe and the Zhang family were both infidelities of Lu Yi, and their political niches were highly overlapping, so it was natural that they would not get along too well.

However, as long as it does not affect normal work, Lu Yi will not intervene. Instead, he is secretly happy to see the rift between the two families.

If nothing unexpected happens in the future, the four alliances will provide less and less help to Lu Yi, and slowly they will become Lu Yi's vassal forces.

Therefore, checks and balances and differentiation are necessary.

It is better to have something than nothing; early is better than late.

After a whole day of hard work, the accounts of both parties were in agreement, and the business trip was successfully completed. The three million coins of goods in the caravan were all sold to the Hunye tribe for six million coins.

The Hunye tribe bought all the 7500 healthy horses at a price of coins per horse, and also provided the caravan with some food and furs for free.

This transaction of Huyebu seemed to be the same as the last one, and it did not get much discount, but Kasuto, who had tasted the sweetness of exclusive agency, was very happy.

He bought it for 600 million coins, and then increased its value by 900% and sold it to other Xiongnu tribes in Mayi grassland for million coins.

The former overlord, the Zhade tribe, had to frequently send tribesmen to bully and beat disobedient tribes. If they encountered a stubborn resistance and resisted stubbornly, their own losses would be very heavy. These were the real costs of ruling.

But Kasuto made a fortune just by sitting at home. It was so easy.

These materials are beyond the reach of the Hu people and are extremely scarce. Now other caravans have had their trade routes cut off by Huang Yi and are unable to pass at all.

Even if they take a detour through the pass, the increased consumption along the way will be far more than 50%, and the wool comes from the sheep, so these consumption will ultimately be counted on their heads. And this will also offend the Hunye tribe, which is not worth it.

Since the Hunye tribe annexed the Zhad tribe, its strength has grown several times. Afterwards, it successively destroyed several small tribes that refused to submit to its rule. The other Xiongnu tribes in the Mayi grassland suddenly became obedient and offered tribute and surrender.

However, after Lu Yi's reminder, Hexutuo did not resort to the military bullying of the Zade tribe, but adopted a more gentle financial control. Not only was the effect better, but the degree of submission of other tribes was also incomparable to that of the Zade tribe.

Therefore, the other Xiongnu tribes living on the Mayi grassland could neither buy nor defeat the Xiongnu tribe, so they could only hold their noses and buy the goods of the Hunye tribe at high prices.

Fortunately, the tribute conditions of the Hunye tribe to other tribes also changed from population and livestock to horses.

There is nothing else on the grassland, but plenty of grass and horses.

There are many herds of wild horses numbering in the thousands. These horses have to compete with the herders' livestock for pastures, so they are often driven away and captured by the herders.

Now with the order from the Hunye tribe, other small tribes that were vassal states of the Hunye tribe began to capture large numbers of horses to pay tribute to the Hunye tribe and exchange for supplies.

For the Hu people, catching horses is nothing more than a matter of effort and time, and does not cost much money at all. All in all, the cost of obtaining horses is not that much, so even if Hexutuo lowers the price to 7500 coins, he can still make a profit.

At this time, there were as many as two to three thousand horses in the horse farm of the Hunye tribe.

However, some of them are still wild and need to be castrated and trained, so not all of them can be traded.

But even so, Lu Yi still had his eyes on these horses.

In addition to increasing the scale and progress of Luwu's construction, he now also has to continue to increase the size of the cavalry.

Two hundred and fifty people may seem few, but it’s really not that many.

Moreover, he still owed a lot of money to the Zhen family of Zhongshan. If he simply took 800 horses back with him, he was afraid that he would not be able to save much money after one trip.

"Father-in-law, I am now building a fort in my hometown of Jiuyuan. The daily expenses are hundreds of thousands. I wonder if I can borrow some horses from the Hunye tribe first and repay them with goods in the future?" In the big tent, Lu Yi asked He Xutuo worriedly.

"Haha, for us Huns, we have as many horses as we want. Just take them away, why bother borrowing them?" He Xutuo thought about it for a moment, and immediately said generously that they were all small problems.
