Chapter 2660 What is the trap(2/2)
"The Han people also have them, they have Dayuan horses!"
『We have cattle and sheep!』
"There are many Huns and Qiang people, who are herding sheep for the Han people..."
"We have craftsmen who know how to make bows and arrows the best!"
"The Han people also have them. They call them workshops. They do nothing every day, just create weapons, armor, bows and arrows..."
"We have agile boys and unyielding warriors!"
"Okay, even if that's it, but with this warrior, are you going to fight to the death with the Han people, or do you want to fight to the death for the Han people?"
"I……"
Then everyone fell silent.
In the huge tent, the atmosphere was like condensed ice, pressing heavily on everyone's head.
I don’t know how long it took, but then someone asked Poshi He Yuanshang, “What conditions did my king, Han envoy… say?”
"Huh..." Poshi Heyuan took a breath, as if he was going to exhale the depression in his chest. "It's not a condition, it's a notification... There will be a formal document in two days... Do you understand? This is the attitude of the Han general of the Cavalry to us... Either we are his subordinates, obey orders, or he is his enemy, start a war... There is no qualification to negotiate conditions...
"Why?!"
"Because we can't beat it!"
"We are not vassals!"
"Do you still want to be the master of the Han people? Ha!"
"At worst, let's go! Let's go back to Beimo!"
"You go back? If you don't ask your tribe, how many people are willing to go back to that cold place!"
"Where are you on that side? Are you from our Jiankun people or the spy sent by the Han people!"
"I think you are like a spy! I just want to lead us Jiankun people to the road to death!"
『…』
The elders were in chaos again.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Poshi Heyuan shouted loudly, "Didn't you listen to me?! The Han people look down on us! Do you know what it means to look down on us? In terms of money and grain reserves, I heard that the Han people have begun to prepare for the construction of ten-year warehouses! Do you know what it means to store the food and grass that even if it is a famine for ten years, we can have food and grass! How many cattle and sheep will die in a year?! In terms of military combat, the Han people welcome us to take action at any time! The Han envoy said that the Han soldiers in Hedong had not been able to obtain the merits of the head for a long time! Do you know what the merits of the head? It's our heads! One head remembers one merit! And it's a man, and it's a man, and it's not a man! So the soldiers in the northeast of the Han people all yearn for our heads! There are already Han people calculating, saying that if we take action, we will get a merit and a bounty!"
Poshi Heyuan finished speaking a lot in one breath, and couldn't help but feel a little quick. He huffed and sat on his head, looked at the elders around him, gasped for a while, and then continued, "Of course, we still have a layer of identity, that is, our ancestors were Han people, so the Han people did not completely regard us as people in the desert, so they didn't take action..."
Poshi Heyuan said in a deep voice, "But the first condition is that we must accept the orders of General Husband..."
"So... what do the Han people want?"
Poshi Heyuan was silent for a while, as if he was recalling, and it seemed like he was organizing language. "The Han envoy said that we should not prohibit us from selling war horses, but we should go to Chang'an to get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the number of war horses and get the price... and the number is reported first, the sales tax is paid, and then the sales are sold. It is our business, but without the sales are in accordance with the smuggling... It is not only us Jiankun people, but the Hu merchants in the Western Regions and the Han merchants in the East are the same...
The elders were stunned, hesitating for each other. After a long time, someone asked: "Then this tax...
Poshi Heyuan said: "Everything is the same, all the same! It's the same as everyone else! Different levels of war horses and different hornbands, according to the standards set by the Han people... and then someone will check them... If you find that the goods are different from those of you, you will also be smuggled and disposed of..."
"It seems...it's okay..." The elders chattered and seemed to have forgotten their previous indignation towards the Han people.
"Also, the Han people will set up a large, fixed market in the cloud... The Han vendors on the market also have their own quotations, and there will be no problems of price reduction and counterfeit goods... In addition, because of the previous language communication barriers between us and the Han people, the Han people gave us ten places, so that we can go to the Han people Chang'an to study and do translation... The Han people will also send some translations to come and teach our children some basic Chinese for free. After all, our ancestors were also Han people, how could we not understand Chinese..."
"This..." the elders looked at each other.
They originally thought that the Han envoys put forward very harsh conditions, such as how many cattle, sheep and animals they wanted, and how many vassal soldiers who participated in the war, just like the Huns treated them back then, but they didn't expect that when they heard these so-called conditions, they became a little unbelievable.
