At this moment, in the Xiongnu royal court, the Xiongnu king summoned the twelve princes to drink.
The twelfth prince did not refuse and entered as usual. This was the thirteenth banquet he had attended here in the past month.
In the eyes of the twelfth prince, both can be said to be what each needs.
But today seems a little different. The royal tent is already full of people.
Judging from the attire of these people, they are all leaders of the major Xiongnu tribes, and they have all been summoned here today.
"Your Highness, when will your goods be delivered?" The Hun King was a burly man of a foreign race.
Seeing the twelfth prince going up the mountain, he moved a seat, stood up and poured a large bowl of wine for the twelfth prince.
"My men can't wait any longer. The cloth, porcelain, tools, wine, and weapons you've brought us are all what we Xiongnu need.
And Your Highness, you are our best friend, please get these things as soon as possible."
When the twelfth prince heard this, his heart fell. It seemed that these tribal leaders came here because they saw that the goods had not arrived for a long time.
The transactions over the past few months have made them dependent on Dagande's products.
Although he has now entered the Xiongnu, he still controls some trade routes.
This was something he had planned long ago, for he was afraid that if this day came, he would have no choice but to come to the Xiongnu.
Although there are not many things, these are the only channels for the Huns to obtain these things on a large scale.
As for others, the amount smuggled by a single individual is simply too small to satisfy them.
He also had powerful iron-smelting technology, but of course he had not given it to the Huns yet.
He wanted to use his talents to do business in the Xiongnu.
If there is a chance, he will become the uncrowned king of the Huns step by step and become the mastermind behind the Huns.
He then built an iron smelting factory, completely controlled the Xiongnu, and unified the northern desert.
Attack Dagan again and let my father see my ability! I am not useless.
Thinking of this, the twelfth prince smiled slightly and said without any anxiety: "Don't worry, leaders, this thing will be here soon.
But there aren’t many things, and I don’t know how to distribute them.”
This is the purpose of the twelfth prince. He wants to get more goods, and if he has the right to distribute, he will have a say.
However, this plan has a drawback, which is that he is currently only guarded by a grandmaster.
It is easy to be intimidated by violence, so it is still necessary to win over a group of friends to prevent violent incidents from happening.
While this may slow down the implementation of the plan, there is no other way around it.
So he gave part of the profits to the Xiongnu king, who also needed the goods of the twelfth prince to deepen his rule.
After all, the Huns were not a monolithic group, and these tribes could also want to become the Huns' king at any time.
Of course, this is not a complete solution to the problem, but if I kill myself, those merchants will never be able to come in again.
Moreover, if the Xiongnu king wanted to kill him one day, he could also defect to other tribes and have the best of both worlds.
He believed that the Hun king could handle these things.
This is a gamble, but the twelfth prince has never lacked the courage to gamble.
He has always been like this, a qualified businessman.
A qualified businessman can sell his own hanging rope and street lamp if there is enough profit.
Just like the big gamble he made in Jianghuai, which cost him the Zhang family.
He then made a second gamble by trading with the Huns, but lost again, losing his status as a prince and his freedom.
And for the last time, he didn't believe that fate was not on his side, so he bet everything he had and his life on it, and gave it a try.
In his eyes, he and his sixth brother came from a family with no worries about food and clothing, and were extremely wealthy.
But he didn't want to be a useless person who only eats and waits to die like Zhao Que!
He wants to control his own destiny instead of being a parasite.
In his heart, Zhao Que was the type of person he despised the most.
Even if I die, I will die on the road of struggle!
“In the name of the Eternal Heaven, we consider you our friend and will pay a handsome price for your ironware: thirty goats for a pot.
We now know that within the Dagan realm, an iron pot is worth no more than a sheep!" A Xiongnu leader heard the twelfth prince's words.
He stood up, somewhat angrily, and cursed at the twelfth prince.
However, the twelfth prince crossed his fingers but was not anxious, instead he replied: “Lord Geda, there is nothing we can do.
There was a blockade on trade, and soldiers and martial artists from the north were blocking the way.
We all took risks. The iron pots made in your Xiongnu are not as good as ours, and they even cost a hundred sheep each."
This is actually true.
"Can't it be cheaper?" another person stood up and said.
The twelfth prince frowned, and then he realized that the reason today was that he was complaining about the expensive things.
However, he would have a share of the Xiongnu King's profits, as long as he stood in front of him.
“Your Highness, you may not know that Da Gan has agreed to trade with us.
The price is to send you back." Originally, this matter could be discussed further, but another tribal leader could not help but speak directly.
When the twelfth prince heard this, he laughed out loud. How could this be possible? Both sides were enemies. He said loudly: "This is just Da Gan deceiving you. How could they possibly do business with you?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
