In fact, they haven't figured it out yet.
In the past, there was little need for large-scale agricultural supplies on the grasslands.
In addition to buying salt and tea, they also find ways to pick wild grass to supplement vitamins.
A small amount of table salt can also be found in some places on the grassland.
It's no problem to barely make ends meet.
At that time, the barbarians were even more ferocious than they are today. They were fearless in battle and even took pride in dying in battle.
Ever since he could remember, Ye started planning his business.
After the business reached a certain scale, Ye began to sell goods to the grassland.
At the beginning, the two sides were extremely hostile to each other, many conflicts occurred, and even many people died.
But later on, the other party gradually discovered that Dayuan's goods were really too expensive.
They began to treat the caravans as guests of honor.
They even hoped that the caravan would deliver more goods to them.
Gradually, the people sent by Ye to do business began to sell goods to make money while inquiring about the news from the barbarians.
Know the barbarian tribes very well.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
The last time Qin Qingxue led his troops into battle, the intelligence provided by Ye was of great use.
Of course, his real purpose, in addition to making money, was mainly to make the barbarian tribes live more comfortably.
Let them develop a habit and become inseparable from Dayuan products.
After all, if you can live comfortably, no one wants to go back to a hard life.
After eating the meat, they can enjoy fragrant tea.
I can eat clean salt and feel full of energy.
Even livestock need salt to grow taller.
As for some other daily necessities, they can greatly improve their living standards.
The more comfortable people live, the more they will lose their fighting spirit.
The barbarian nomads have become addicted and rely heavily on the various goods provided by Dayuan.
Especially among their nobles, almost all of their clothes were made of fabrics provided by Dayuan.
Yuye is corroding the will of the barbarians in an invisible and intangible way.
This method seems to be very effective.
As long as you cut off the supply of goods, they will not be able to bear it.
I waited until evening before Ye appeared calmly.
For safety reasons, they were not invited into the village, but a huge tent was set up outside.
Finally, they were received by the emperor, and the barbarian envoys rushed forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. You have finally appeared. If you continue to be unwilling to negotiate with us, we will die as an apology."
Ye sneered and said, "What are you talking about? If you can't see Prince Xiao, you will die. Is Prince Xiao that scary?"
"Your Highness is not to be feared, but our savior?
First of all, to apologize for rejecting us last time, we have prepared a generous gift as compensation to Your Highness.
I hope Your Highness can continue to trade with us."
Ye pretended to be surprised: "Did I hear you correctly? You have firmly said before that you would never trade with us again even if you starve to death.
Isn’t this change too fast?
Or are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?"
The envoys all had bitter expressions on their faces, knowing they would definitely be treated to a scolding.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. To be honest, it was your Third Prince who said that he could provide cheaper goods, and they were all the same.
In fact, we were all deceived by him. The goods he delivered were of very poor quality and were all broken within a few days.
We have already refused to continue negotiating with him and are still willing to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."
“We have an old saying in Dayuan: there is no cheap product, and the product is not cheap.
You barbarians have always been thinking about taking advantage of others, but now you know you regret it. "
A hint of coldness flashed in Ye's eyes.
Unexpectedly, the other party sold out the third prince directly.
But even if they said it, what would it matter? Their words could not be used as evidence at all.
There was no harm to the Third Prince either.
"Your Highness is absolutely right, so we came here to discuss continuing trade.
We barbarians have prepared ten horses for you, all of which are 1.5-1.5cm war horses and have not been castrated.
As long as Your Highness likes, you can breed him as a stallion."
"We, Khitan and Jin, have also each prepared five Tathagata horses.
After all, we are all small countries and not as powerful as the barbarians.
I also hope His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince will not despise me."
If we could get more than ten excellent stallions in the past, I'm afraid the entire court would be excited.
But for Yuye, this is nothing at all.
He pretended to be very helpless and sighed: "Even if you want to make it easy, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in a short time.
Since you didn't want that batch of goods, I shipped it to Tubo.
Besides, they have come a long way, so it is not easy to catch up with them.
The cost alone could potentially double.
If we purchase it now and have the workshop make it and then ship it over, it will take at least two months.
At that time, the road was blocked by heavy snow and the road conditions were very bad. If we forced ourselves to continue on our way, we might encounter danger.
How about this, I'll go back and tell your king that we can continue trading again.
Let you guys hold on a little longer!"
The barbarian envoy almost vomited blood after hearing this.
He also didn't know whether what Ye said was true.
However, it stands to reason that if a large number of goods cannot be sold, they will definitely find ways to sell them elsewhere.
At this moment, they regretted it deeply.
As for what he said about heavy purchases taking so long, they still didn't quite believe it.
If it was released before, the road would be difficult to travel and it would take too long.
With the construction of expressways, people can travel several times faster than before, and the cost is very low.
As long as you are willing, I can definitely deliver the goods before the road is blocked by heavy snow.
"We know that Your Highness is very powerful and will definitely find a way to ship the goods here as soon as possible.
Just help us out again.
If the discussion and negotiation fail, he will be stabbed to death by the king when he returns.
It would be better to die here and save our family."
Ye shrugged and said, "If you really want to die, there's nothing I can do.
The prince has a humanitarian spirit and will help cremate and bury you after you die.
I will never watch you die in the wilderness."
The envoys were filled with hatred, as they were actually being left to die without a second thought, not giving them any face at all.
"Your Highness, you can't say that. As long as we can ship the goods over, we can still survive.
We all know that speeding up the purchase of goods will definitely increase costs.
We’re willing to pay more!”
"That's right, Your Highness, please state a price!"
Originally they wanted to let Ye make the offer first, and then they would bargain down the price.
As long as the price falls within the price range given by the king, it will be considered a success.
But Xiaoye didn't mention the easy matter at all, and kept pushing it back in his words.
Ye can bear it, but they can't wait.
We must ship goods as soon as possible to appease the people; we cannot wait a moment longer.
