Chapter 466 Can I Still Trust You?



Zhao Hao was surprised. Zhuo Ya beside him couldn't help but whispered: "The dry wine invented by the young master has now become a world-famous wine."

“Its intensity is unparalleled and is most loved by grassland people.”

Zhao Hao was a little puzzled: "This shouldn't be the case. Gan wine is only sold in Dagan and has only recently been sold to Shu. How could someone bring it to the grassland?"

“And there are so many!”

Dozens of jars are indeed a lot.

Apparently this isn't the first time.

Zhuo Ya said, "It's very simple. These wine sellers must have bought the wine from Da Gan, and then accumulated it and shipped it to the grassland."

"When it is shipped here, the price increases by dozens of times."

Zhao Hao's eyes widened immediately: "What? Dozens of times, or more?"

Zhuo Ya nodded: "If you want to see it, you may as well wait. This jar of wine can at least be exchanged for three adult cows and thirty sheep."

What Zoya said is absolutely right.

Soon, the transaction began. Right at the beginning, the shouting seller killed at least three cows in exchange for a jar of wine.

When there were only a few left, people started to raise the price.

The last jar of wine was sold for three cows and fifteen sheep.

Although the number did not reach the thirty that Zhuo Ya said, this number still shocked Zhao Hao.

It's so horrible.

After calming down, Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "This is a transaction without rules and based entirely on voluntariness. The grassland people are at a great disadvantage."

"Many of them probably have no concept of doing business."

"So, the people of the Central Plains took out some very ordinary things. Because there was a shortage of supplies on the grassland, they had to pay a lot to get them."

Zhuo Ya also nodded: "Young Master is right. Compared with the Central Plains people, one hundred grassland people are not as smart as one Central Plains person in terms of business acumen."

Zhao Hao shook his head: "This is not a question of being smart or not, it's a question of lack of supervision."

“It’s not that we can’t charge a premium at all.”

"But it has to be within a reasonable range."

"If the situation I mentioned earlier had occurred, this wouldn't have happened."

Zhao Hao shook his head. It’s not that he couldn’t bear to see the grassland people suffer losses.

He's not that saintly.

What’s more, it’s an enemy country.

The main reason was that he was shocked by the exaggerated premium.

Zhuo Ya acted as if she didn't hear what he said, and said, "After the royal court moved to Mobei, the trade between the two sides has obviously increased a lot."

"In such a remote market town, there are so many people from the Central Plains selling things."

Zhao Hao knew that she didn't want to hear his idea, so he smiled and said, "Shall we take a rest here?"

Zhuoya thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a rest for a night. We will continue our journey tomorrow."

In the evening, I found a restaurant run by someone from the Central Plains, had a simple meal, and then went back to my room to sleep.

At night, Zhuoya didn't stay in the same room with him for the first time.

This allowed Zhao Hao to have a good sleep and get a good rest without any energy consumption.

The next morning, after a simple meal, Zhao Hao asked Zhuo Ya to send someone to buy some dry wine.

Then everyone continued on their way.

This journey lasted another ten days.

While resting that night, Zhao Hao couldn't help wondering, "Didn't they say they would be here soon?"

"It's been half a month, why haven't you arrived yet?"

"Besides, this place has already shown signs of desertification. Why do I feel like we are getting closer and closer to the desert?"

Zhuo Ya's eyes flashed, and then she whispered, "To be on the safe side, we took a very long curved road."

"You are right, young master. This place is indeed not far from the desert."

"It is estimated that it will take us about seven to eight days to reach the tribe's camp."

Zhao Hao was speechless: "It will take another seven or eight days. I thought it would be here soon."

Zhuo Ya gently leaned against his chest and said, "Young Master, please be patient and bear with it for a few days."

Zhao Hao reached out and gently stroked her jade back, then grinned and said, "Then you have to be patient for a few days when we get here!"

Zhuoya's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she reached out and punched him on the chest.

After daybreak, we continued on our way.

Eight days passed in a flash.

Early in the morning of the ninth day, Zhao Hao saw a very large, even majestic earthen city appearing in front of him.

This city is quite large.

Of course, it cannot be compared with the huge cities in the Central Plains countries.

However, it is comparable to some slightly smaller prefectures.

Zhao Hao frowned immediately. He had carefully looked at the map of the entire wilderness in Jiang Wan'er's Pepper Room.

I haven't seen such a big city in Mo Nan.

wrong.

There should be.

There are three cities in the entire southern part of the desert.

They are the Mo Nan Royal Court.

There is also the city of Nanjing, which is close to the Dagan area, and the city of Dongjing, which is located at the easternmost end of the southern desert and close to the Yue State.

In the past, there was a city called Xijing at the westernmost end near the Shu Kingdom, near Zhangye.

However, the city of Xijing was destroyed.

Could it be that we have already arrived in Tokyo?

Turning his head to look at Zhuo Ya, Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Is this Tokyo City?"

Zhuo Ya smiled slightly and said, "Won't you know when you see it yourself later?"

The team continued to move forward, and after a cup of tea, they arrived outside the earthen city.

Above the city gate, three big characters "Chahan City" were written in the Central Plains language.

Chahan, in barbaric language, means deserted and uninhabited place.

When Zhao Hao saw it, he suddenly looked at Zhuo Ya, his expression changed and he asked, "Is this Chahan City?"

He had seen the city of Chahan on the map.

This is a city located on the dividing line between the southern and northern parts of the desert.

To be precise, it is already about a hundred miles away from Mobei and is completely within the territory of Mobei.

Seeing Zhao Hao's gaze, Zhuo Ya turned her head away slightly, not daring to look him in the eye.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "I want to hear what you want to tell me!"

Along the way, he did not completely trust Zhuoya.

However, he did not expect that the other party would bring him directly to Chahan City in Mobei.

Zhuo Ya was silent for a long time, then slowly raised her head with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Young Master..."

"sorry!"

"I didn't tell you in advance, I hope you won't be angry."

"In fact, our power in Mo Nan is really limited. If the prince wants to send troops, we can't protect him."

"So, after much thought, I decided to bring the young master to check on Khan."

Zhao Hao sneered: "So, I have to thank you?"

Zhuo Ya quickly shook her head: "Sir, no matter where this is, my promise to you remains unchanged."

"As long as there is no problem with the method of making the thunder bomb, I will personally send it back to Dagan for you!"

Zhao Hao sneered, "Zhuo Ya, can I still trust you now? Forget it, I'll see how you arrange me next!"

After saying that, Zhao Hao turned over, got off his horse, and walked towards the city.

There are still quite a few people in the city.
