C191 Gift (2/2)

After all, on the prairie, not only humans, animals also need to eat salt.

Therefore, nomads need more salt than farmers.

Moreover, unlike Europe's long coastline, almost every country has an ocean and uses it to boil salt.

In China, most of the west coast of the Pacific Ocean is controlled by China and its affiliate, North Korea.

There were only three ways for nomads to obtain salt on a large scale.

The first was a southerly plundering.

However, if he wanted to plunder enough salt, he must have enough military strength.

Historically, the only thing that the nomadic people could expect to defeat the farming people was that the Chinese dynasty of the farming people was in a weakened state.

But now, the countries bordering the nomads, be it Qin or Han, or Song and Ming, are at their peak.

Even though the Song Kingdom was slightly weaker, it was still unrealistic to rob them for salt.

Second, like Liaoning and Mongolia (Jin and Qing are fishermen and hunters), they used force to invade the Yanyun region and obtain salt from the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

However, this method was even more unreliable in this world. It was only a theoretically feasible method.

If they wanted to occupy the Sixteenth Swallow Region, they would have to face the three states of Ming, Song and Liao.

In particular, the Ming Kingdom was still at its peak.

The army of the early Ming was able to defeat the Mongolian who had shaken the world.

Therefore, they could only choose the third option, which was to use peaceful means to purchase salt through trade.

Thus, the price of salt in the prairie could be imagined.

At this moment, Xiao Wen walked up to Raton's side.

Smiling at him, he said in a low voice, ”Prince Fenton, you know that my gifts are more than this. As a matter of fact, I brought you a business that can make you rich! With this business, you don't even have to try to rob and rob, and you'll be able to enjoy a life as prosperous as the Song Emperor. ”

Song, as the richest dynasty in Chinese history. In this world, it was also a symbol of wealth.

Obviously, when Xiao Wen used the word 'Song' to describe the situation, even Rao Dun's heart was moved.

Of course, what Xiao Wen didn't say was true. When he became rich through eating sheep, he would gradually become a slave to money and economy. He would be manipulated by the Han and Xiao Wen, and would have no way to resist.

The formidable character in the past also no longer existed!

However, at this moment, Xiao Wen didn't have any intentions of stopping. He said, ”It's just the salt. In my opinion, it's not something valuable. As for business, although the wealth was enormous, it was something that would happen a long time later. All of these things are just added benefits. ”

”As a matter of fact, the present I'm going to give Prince Morton today is something else.” Xiao Wen looked at the Huns and said loudly.

”Sir, what other gifts do you have? How come I didn't know? ” Looking at Xiao Wen, Zhuge Liang was filled with confusion.

He looked around. Other than the places where he practiced martial arts, Guan Yu was from the Buddhist sect, so he didn't seem to care. The other classmates had blank expressions on their faces.

It seemed like they didn't know what Xiao Wen was talking about.

Under the confused looks of the children, as well as the anticipation of the Huns, Xiao Wen said: ”Today, I am going to give Prince Fenton a gift, which will be three thousand clean slaves!”
