"Are you too domineering like this?" Bu Dugen frowned when he heard this. Is it okay? It is indeed a bit too bullying the Xianbei.

"We are not that familiar with each other. Given the previous relationship between the two parties, I must be responsible for the people of Yunzhong County. Perhaps, it can be appropriately relaxed in a few years, and overall it depends on the performance of the leader Bu Dugen." Liu Tao replied.

He paused and continued, "Besides, several tribes can select several representatives to help with unified procurement. In this way, the number of people does not need too many. Arrange your people to pick them up fifty miles away, and this distance can be reached in one or two days. What are you afraid of?"

Bu Dugen was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed the case. However, he was not at ease with Liu Tao, or he did not believe in the Han people very much.

So he added: "If there are casualties on our people, it will be regarded as you taking the initiative to start a war!"

"I don't guarantee this. What if you deliberately hurt someone, then falsely accuse us of the wound, and then start a war maliciously? Or, those who come here burn, kill, plunder and loot on Beiyu, or are arrested for violating Hanluo, and you also use the excuse of starting a war?" Liu Tao asked back.

"Even if you commit a crime, since you are our tribe members, you should leave it to us for punishment." Bu Dugen did not intend to give in.

"Then I will send a hundred people to the grassland and kill them whenever I see them. You are not allowed to be punished and asked you to escort us back and punish us. How about it?" Liu Tao immediately retorted, intending to enjoy extraterritorial legal power, and really think that he is a great power?

"Then how to solve this? I can't let you deal with my tribe members for no reason!" Bu Dugen asked.

"Simple, at the Beiyu trading point, I set up an area and set up an embassy for you. In each transaction, you will send an envoy to station here to assist us in maintaining public order. The number of people is no more than ten! As the same goes, you are not allowed to leave the transaction scope at will!" Liu Tao gave a solution, "Is there no objection to let your tribe members take care of your tribe members?"

"That's it..." Bu Dugen felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and it was fair. But because of justice, he felt that there was a fraud. After all, the Han people were cunning, which is the inherent impression of all Xianbei people.

"If you agree, start a border trade. If you don't agree, you will be... Anyway, you are at a loss, not ours." Seeing that he was still hesitating, Liu Tao issued an ultimatum directly.

"There is no way to agree to you so quickly. I need one night to think about it. If the general agrees, everything is easy to say. If he doesn't agree, then he will give up." But Bu Dugen shook his head, his attitude was very firm.

"I can't figure it out. I've turned to your proposal. Why do you still need to think about it...well, I'll give you one night." Liu Tao said disgusted and then went back to take the horse.

His attitude was a little bit unsure. Could it be that there was no trap? He really wanted to start a border trade?

"Brother, why are you so polite to that barbarian?" Zhang Fei had to ask in a low voice on the way back.

"One, it is beneficial to us to start a border trade; the other is, whether to proactively declare war is actually not required at all... I felt unhappy that day, or if he felt unhappy one day, he could tear the covenant directly. Remember one thing, there is no friendship between countries, only interests!" Liu Tao reminded.

"Oh..." Zhang Fei felt that he understood, but he didn't.

The next day, after one night of consideration, Budugen could not see the clues, so he formally agreed to the conditions.

"Since you are going to start a border trade, please take this leader Budugen." Liu Tao then took out a book and handed it to the other party, "This is a matter of precautions for the transaction. With this, if something happens during the transaction, don't blame us for not saying anything."

The latter took it over. Judging from the paper and ink, it should have been written last night. Bu Dugen, as a Xianbei nobleman, naturally knows Chinese dialect and Chinese characters. After reading it briefly, he actually felt that there was no problem.

If the border trade was changed to him, he would basically make the decision like this. At first glance, there was no clue. Could it be that the other party really had no plans?

It was still wrong to think about it, and I had to take it back and show it to the elders in the clan and the Han scholars who defected to him.

Thinking of this, Bu Dugen said, "I need some time to confirm and reply to you later."

"The leader Bu Dugen should have misunderstood..." Liu Tao shook his head, "This is my rule. Whether you agree or not, it is like this and will not accept changes! There is really nothing on this regulation that clearly targets you Xianbei. Do you still think that I will harm you?"

Who knows if it will be harmed? You Han people are very bad... Bu Dugen complained in his heart.

After looking through it again, I really couldn't see any clues. After thinking about it, I finally agreed. If I hesitate about anything, I would be looked down upon. As a master of the Xianbei area, he naturally had to take responsibility!

"This is the only way. I thought that the leader Bu Dugen was a hero and he would definitely do things in a straightforward manner, but he was not as good as me." Liu Tao laughed, "Since he has decided to start a border trade, we are also friends. I will hold a banquet tonight, so please give me a look?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" The words were not very reasonable, but Bu Dugen was also surprised by Liu Tao's enthusiasm, so he agreed.

At the dinner party, some details of the content of border trade are required. For example, Liu Tao hopes that every border trade, there will be 500 to 1,000 war horses, and the number of cattle and sheep is also quantitative.

But Bu Dugen could not agree. In the end, the two sides negotiated and decided that the horses were between 300 and 1,000. However, in terms of cattle and sheep, especially in terms of cattle, the number needs to be increased.

What made the concession Dugen unexpectedly was that Liu Tao also had to buy wool, the more the better. Sheep on the grassland will change their wool. The problem of wool every summer gives the tribe a headache. Unexpectedly, the Han people are stupid enough to buy it? I promised, I have to agree. Why don’t I agree to such a good thing?!

"Come on, come on, try the good wine we have brewed recently. This thing is called Zuixian Brew, Nagong Wine. Every year, I have to give a batch to the Emperor of Han to enjoy. It was once sold for one thousand guan per bottle in Luoyang, which is very rare." Liu Tao then took out a bottle of wine, handed it over, and signaled Bu Dugen to taste it.

"Chief..." Someone next to him came forward, but Bu Dugen shook his head, raised his head and took a sip.

For a moment, his face naturally turned red and looked uncomfortable. After seeing the Xianbei people around him, they immediately wanted to draw their swords. At the banquet, they were in a tense moment.

"Good wine!" Bu Dugen finally swallowed the wine. After breathing a long sigh, he signaled everyone not to be so excited. Then he shouted. He even smashed his mouth, as if he was savoring the smell.

"If it is not good enough, how can you be worthy of the identity of the leader Budugen?" Liu Tao smiled. Now he was stable. Judging from his intoxicated look, the wine should be able to be sold at a good price in the future.
