The Ye family's horse team is moving westward.

Liang Chuan bought a large amount of soju and fans in the town of Mining. The next step is to go to Buribu, Weichu Mansion to purchase a large number of tea.

Qu Zhen's men met Nong Yao at the deserted village of the joint. According to the plan, when they learned that Liang Chuan would send a caravan with nearly a hundred horses, they were so excited that the joint's hands were trembling.

People on the plateau lack anything except cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can produce fur and meat, but eating too much will cause their lives.

Qu Zhen asked Liang Chuan to tell Liang Chuan that if they could, they could bring the goods to Mangkang, and they would buy them away as much as they could!

Liang Chuan originally thought they would ask for some luxury goods such as porcelain, lacquer, silk, etc., but unexpectedly, the items they needed were only the most basic!

Wine and fans, and the most important tea!

On the plateau, you can also make green cake wine, but there is not much grain on the plateau. Only green cakes are rarely used to make wine, so some nobles can afford it! Moreover, green cake wine is not as good as rice wine or Central Plains.

The mellowness of the spirit wine may be a factor in craftsmanship.

On this snow plateau, it is extremely luxurious to drink beef with a bite of delicious wine that warms your body and mind!

Fans are food.

Rice is still here and it is not easy to cook. However, the vermicelli has been processed and can be eaten in the stomach with hot water and seasoned. It is a rare delicacy.

As for tea, it is the life-saving fairy grass!

The Dangxiang people cut off their trade routes to the north and the middle roads. Tea can now be transported to the plateau, which is like gold. How many Tubo people who eat too much beef live to be forty years old, just because the oil gives them all the intestines.

It's blocked! Where can I eat vegetables on the plateau? They found that tea can make their bodies lighter. For nomadic peoples, tea is their life!

The tea sold to the Tubo people is the lowest-level leaves!

The Ye family cannot buy good tea from Shuzhong or Fujian Road to sell it to these Tubo people. Tubo people cannot afford such expensive tea if they don’t understand it! Moreover, the distance between the two places is too far, Shuzhong may

It is also closer to Jiuning Town. If you transport tea from Fujian Road, you will not be able to get there in less than half a year.

The most suitable tea is the Zhongbu Ribe tea in the Weichu Prefecture Buribe!

These tea leaves also have a tea flavor, but some are bitter and astringent. The key is that the leaves are numerous and low in price, and can be stored for a long time. Some Dali people make a living by carrying tea, claiming to be a hero, carrying this one

The big tea leaves are going to Tubo and exchange them for money! The Tubo people don’t want to enjoy it, they just can accept this consumption capacity!

Qu Zhen and Liang Chuan are working together for the first time. Although porcelain and other things are more expensive, the two have no idea about this cooperation. At the beginning, no one is willing to invest a lot of money directly!

I just happened to go to Mangkang, and the best route is the Western Front. There are few people there and I will not be targeted!

It took almost ten days to get the tea from Weichu Mansion and walk to Tengchong Mansion. When you arrive in Yongchang Mansion, you will go north along the Lushui River and you will be able to reach Chawa City, where you can reach west.

To the east, the Lusie City in Tubo is Liangchuan’s destination, Mangkang!

Lushui is Nujiang.

The mountains on both sides of the Nujiang River stand majestic, the trees in the valley are shaded, and the sky is covered with dark green, dyeing the river water into dark green. The Tubo people call it "Naqu", which means "black water"!

People walk on the path by the river. The path is very rugged and can only allow one person to pass through. It is covered with thorns and rocks. No one has ever repaired it. It is just that there are so many people walking that this path has formed. I don’t know how to experience it.

How many years have you ever seen that you have a small path leading to the plateau.

This is the ancient Tea-horse Road. Later generations called it the ancient road, but of course there is no such name now, but Liang Chuan still habitually called this route the ancient Tea-horse Road!

If you accidentally fall into the river, you may never be able to find it!

As for Luoshe City, it is even more famous, and it is also Lhasa.

Ye Fan and Liang Chuan walked in front of the horse team. He and Liang Chuan were qualified to ride horses in the team, and the others were all holding horses.

Although the Dian horse has good endurance, its small horse body is their natural weakness, so it is naturally much worse than that of ordinary North Horses. If you ride a man, there will be much less cargo!

Moreover, this ancient tea horse road is too dangerous. If a person rides on a horse, if there are wild beasts that rush out, the horse will be frightened and rush to the bottom of the cliff, his life will be gone! Instead of doing this, it is better to walk honestly!

Liang Chuan and his horses did not carry goods, and Liang Chuan would get off the horse and lead him away from time to time. Ye Fan never got off the horse from beginning to end. In his words

, come out to play, not suffer!

Going west, there are endless mountains, and the mountains are still green, and there is a white hat on the top of the mountain!

'To the west is Tengchong Prefecture, which is the territory of the Qilan tribe, the largest Qilan tribe here. Our most Ning Ayue tribe and their Qilan tribe in Tengchong, protecting the Dali Kingdom from one east and one west!'

Liang Chuan stood on the mountain by the river and looked towards the other side!

Surrounded by mountains in the distance, there is not even a trace of people, except for mountains! Although this place is big, what's the use of no one? The land of the northern wandering people is as big as that, but what's the use of few herders!

'Are you strong or is this Qilan tribe strong?'

'They are not bad either, but they generally don't go out. Others don't want to come to such a large territory, and they don't want to go out. Who would suffer from such a far place? If their territory goes away, they will go to the Kingdom of Heaven, you say

Not far away!'

Liang Chuan never thought that one day he would come to so many places, and even the mythical Indians were not far away in front of him. If it were the past, I would have to go around this place for a lot of money!

The further north, the breathing began to become difficult for everyone. This was a manifestation of the increase in altitude. The valley of Lushui became deeper and deeper, and even the temperature dropped unconsciously!

When a group of people walked around a rugged mountain road, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them!

The green mountains are no longer found, and towering mountains are everywhere, all of which are so high that people look up and awe. There are no many green trees on the mountain, only grass, and endless grasslands!

There are only three colors of blue, white and green in the whole world. The sky is clear blue, like a gem without any impurities. The snow-capped mountains connect the heaven and earth, like a ladder to reach the sky, and more like a divine pillar supporting the sky!

There is endless grass like blankets on the ground!

There were countless cattle and sheep on the grass. When the Tubo people in the distance saw Liang Chuan and his group, they were so excited that they blew the whistle!

At this time, it had been half a month since they left Jiuning, and Ye Fan said, "We have arrived at the territory of the Tubo people!"

Are Tubo people?.

Half-exposed arms, dark skin, and high-altitude plateau red!

Caravans are more precious than any gem on the plateau!

Because they can bring supplies that are not available on the plateau! The plateau is where the Tubo people settle down and is also an obstacle to isolating them from the world!

Because the Tubo people completely offended the people of the Central Plains in the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, even if they didn’t do this business, they didn’t want these wolves on the plateau to become stronger again! But without the products of the Central Plains, the Tubo people would not be able to do it!

I haven't seen such a huge caravan in many years!

The Tubo people were of course happy, they saw the tea bricks built one by one!

Ye Fan pointed to the herdsmen in the distance and said to his servants: "Go and ask where is the boundary here and how far is it from Chawa City!"

Ye Fan specially selected several servants who could speak Tubo to listen to it. The servant went to ask a few questions, and immediately came back to report: "Not far ahead is Chawa City. If you cross the river, you can reach Mangkang!

'

‘Okay! It’s not worth it to work hard for us, and it’s finally here!’

?????????????????????? The Tubo people saw a caravan coming from the plateau. They put down the cattle and sheep in their hands and returned immediately. After a while, they returned. When they came, they brought them.

More tribe members are back!

When Ye Fan saw the visiting person, he immediately raised his hand to suppress the horse team: ‘Stop!’

The Tubo people chased the horse team and said nothing. They circled around the horse team for a few laps, and looked at the goods brought by the horse team!

Tea! And fans! And fine wine, the smell of wine almost evokes their souls!

‘Are you Dali or Han people? How do you sell these goods?’ The Tubo people led by the leader can actually speak Chinese, but they don’t speak very well!

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Sorry, my friend, we have already ordered these goods and don't plan to sell them!"

When the Tubo people who came with a smile heard this, their faces were like the plateau weather when the storm was coming, and they instantly became gloomy: 'Who, who bought it, tell me!'

Liang Chuan wanted to explain, so he asked Ye Fan to stop him. He took out a sheepskin bag, and a pot of fine wine was handed to the Tubo people and said, "This is just a bar where I invite my friend to drink, I'm the other ones."

Can't tell you!'

The Tubo people took Ye Fan's wine hatefully, with a hint of hatred in their eyes, and turned their horses heads resentfully and returned to their tribe.

Although it is profitable for anyone to sell it, Liang Chuan still has to bring the powder and salt back, and he cannot complete the transaction here, otherwise Qu Zhen will be unhappy!

‘There are a lot of Moda here!’

‘What is Moda?’

‘It’s a robber!’

Do the Tubo people also have robbers? Who can they steal on the plateau?

Ye Fan looked at the Tubo people's departure back and said, "We should prepare all the swords and arrows, and I'm afraid there will be trouble later. There were rules here a long time ago. No matter when, no one can attack the caravan.

Otherwise, the caravans would not have to take revenge, and the Tubo people themselves would have killed the people who attacked the caravans!'

】

‘To attack the caravan is like drinking brine to quench thirst! Without the sense of security in the caravan, they will never risk huge dangers to bring goods to the plateau!’
