Hearing what the Han man in front of him said, the translator and the leader obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked overjoyed.

The leader could understand Chinese, but he could not speak Chinese well. He quickly gestured at the translator and spoke a few words in gibberish excitedly.

"Dear Sir, winter is coming on the grassland, and our tribe lacks clothing to keep warm in the winter."

"So we want to trade these animals for some clothes."

"This is a simple matter," Xu You waved his hand, then turned his head and ordered, "Bring the wool over here."

Soon someone came over with a piece of wool and put it on the table.

"The best cloth in the world. With it, even if the white disaster comes, it can still keep your people warm as spring."

Xu You patted the wool and said, "You can touch it."

The leader stepped forward and touched it, with a look of surprise on his face, and then ecstasy.

"There are also clothes made of wool. You can try them on."

Xu You said as he took out a thick sweater that was a little dirty and smelled of something fishy, ​​and handed it over.

The leader couldn't believe his ears.

Xu You handed it over and said generously: "It doesn't matter, just try it on. When we do business, we don't just talk about it, but the goods are genuine."

The leader then took it hesitantly.

"This way, just put it in like this."

It's much warmer than being wrapped in sheepskin.

The leader smiled so hard that he almost grinned, and stammered: "It's warm, it's so warm!"

He pointed at the wool and then at the livestock he had brought over: "Sell and exchange!"

Xu You smiled knowingly and pointed to the sweater on the leader's body: "One piece of clothing for ten sheep."

Before the leader could speak, the translator exclaimed: "It's so expensive!"

The leader took off his sweater as if his body was on fire.

"These are clothes woven by the best weavers in the Han Dynasty using the best looms. Even the nobles in the mainland of the Han Dynasty may not be able to afford them."

Xu You seemed to have anticipated the other party's reaction:

"Otherwise, you can also exchange wool for wool. One piece of wool is equivalent to ten sheep."

Obviously, a piece of wool seems to be much more cost-effective than a piece of clothing.

The leader didn't hesitate at all: "Wool material, I want it."

"Where are the horses? Are they for sale too?"

"right."

Compared with the excellent war horses bred by Liangzhou Racecourse, these horses of the barbarians are actually not very good.

But this is not important.

"One horse, twenty horses of wool, I want them all."

In the Han Dynasty, a piece of woolen fabric now costs around 3,000 yuan, which is about the same as fine fine silk.

Twenty horses is 60,000 yuan, which is considered the price of ordinary war horses.

But this is Dahan’s internal price.

As for the export price, even if you don't add a zero at the end, it will at least double.

Who is the big man who represents the most advanced direction of productivity?

Now Hu people can actually enjoy the internal price. This is naturally due to the "benefiting Hu" policy of Pingcheng Forex Market.

This price simply makes Hu people overjoyed and even a little unbelievable.

"Sir, sir, you mean, twenty horses?"

"Yes, twenty horses, equivalent to two hundred sheep."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

The translation is almost incoherent.

Even the leader was so excited that he stammered:

"Sir, thank you, thank you, my lord..."

While counting the horses and sheep, Xu You's eyes fell on the big black cow that was grazing silently.

"A big black cow, which also has twenty pieces of wool, has the same price as a horse. Should I sell it?"

"How many?"

"Twenty horses!" Xu You stretched out his hand, "It's equivalent to two hundred sheep."

The leader's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at the translator.

The translator started to stutter a little: "Dear Sir, you mean, you mean, two hundred sheep?"

Xu You nodded: "Yes."

He pointed at the twenty or so big black cows and said, "As long as you are willing to sell these cows to me, your tribe will not only have enough thick clothes this winter, but also have enough food."

The horses brought by the barbarians were not many, only about thirty.

In fact, for the tribes on the grasslands, raising horses does not mean that they can raise as many horses as they want.

They tend to prefer herding sheep and cattle as this is where their food comes from.

The cost of raising horses is much higher than raising sheep and cattle.

After receiving a positive reply from the translator, the leader made an excited noise, knelt down on the spot, and murmured a prayer to God.

It must be the care of the gods that guided him to come here to trade.

After praying, the leader stood up, saluted Xu You respectfully, and tried his best to speak in Chinese:

"Dear Sir, your mind is as vast as the grassland, and your kindness is as generous as the sky!"

Xu You chuckled: "So, are you willing to sell?"

"Yes, yes, we are very willing."

What more than three hundred sheep can be exchanged for is less than 20% of what twenty-three large black cattle can be exchanged for.

Seeing the piles of wool and grain, dozens of Hu people were so excited that they felt at a loss what to do. Sometimes they touched the wool, and sometimes they picked up the grain and put it in their mouths to take a bite.

"How are you going to transport these things back?"

"Please don't worry, sir. We still have some tribesmen waiting on the other side of the mountain. We will ask them to come over and help."

"And they still have some cattle and sheep on hand, and they will all come over to exchange them when the time comes."

This time the big black cow was sold for a big price, so the clan no longer had to sell so many sheep, and even the horses could be kept.

When the warriors of the clan have horses, they don't have to fear the enemies on the grassland.

Xu You didn't pay attention to the little thoughts of these barbarians.

From their perspective, caution is necessary.

"So, you still want to wait here?"

"Yes, sir, I hope you can let us stay here for two days, and we can use fifty sheep as reward."

Xu You laughed:

"Friends, don't worry, I can set aside a warehouse to store these things for you, and you can stay in there these two days."

"In this case, you don't have to be blown by the cold wind at night."

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome. You've been busy for so long. Are you hungry? Come here and bring some hot soup and food to these guests coming from afar."

The hot soup is boiled bone soup, and the food is pancakes mixed with pickles and some minced meat.

How have all the barbarians ever tasted such delicious food?

In addition, I had been hungry, cold and tired for a long time, so eating felt like the reincarnation of a hungry ghost.

Xu You asked someone to bring another jar of wine and poured a bowl for the translator and the leader:

"Come, friend, please try the good wine we have here."

After drinking a bowl of strong wine, the two of them felt that their whole bodies became warm at first, then they started to feel hot, even sweating, and finally their whole bodies felt a little dizzy.

This comfortable feeling cannot be expressed in words.

"This is called fire in the snow, and it's a good thing to keep out the cold in winter." Xu You said with a smile, "Even in the snow, just one sip will warm your whole body like a fire."

"Here, how many sheep are there?"

"Fifty."
