"Captain Bu Dugen, I didn't expect you to come here to check in person?" Liu Tao looked at the person in front of him unexpectedly.

When Liu Tao first started a border trade, he had to come and check it himself. After thinking about improving the measures, he began to ask Huang Zhong to preside over the subsequent border trade. Who knew that in the Xianbei side, Bu Dugen also came and checked it himself.

"Border trade has been interrupted for a while, and the general's rules are different from before, so he is still worried." Bu Dugen replied, "I'm also worried that the people below are ignorant and something has destroyed the border trade."

At this moment, he was holding a bowl of tea and butter tea. Liu Tao processed the tea he got into brick tea, and then taught people to make butter. Add the hot tea and a little salt.

Compared to traditional tea making, this thing was immediately loved by his men and even the generals after it came out. It was also good to drink this thing without wine.

Originally, I brought some here for Huang Zhong to enjoy it, but who knew that Bu Dugen came here in person and happened to talk to him about the transaction issues.

After taking a sip, Budugen felt that this thing was really good, fragrant, especially the milky aroma, which was very friendly. It was obviously not wine, but it was also very comfortable to drink. Then his stomach felt "gurgling", which was the sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis.

"This is..." Bu Dugen seemed to realize something, and his tone was a little excited.

"This is butter tea made from brick tea. The butter is made of milk, and it is also added with a little salt." Liu Tao replied, "This thing is similar to rhubarb, or the effect is better than rhubarb, at least it is milder."

"Can you feel, how much does this thing cost?" Bu Dugen asked anxiously.

"There are very few brick tea in the big men at present, so when I got the goods, I had always been there. The leader would not plan to let me lose money, right? As for butter, as friendship, I can teach the leader how to make butter..." Liu Tao smiled.

This thing has no technical content, so instead of finding a way for Bu Dugen to get it yourself, it is better to take the initiative to take it out.

"How much brick tea is about?" Bu Dugen was a little embarrassed.

Liu Tao didn't say anything nonsense and handed over a piece of brick tea. After all, it was very solid, and one piece weighed about a pound. The actual cost was 300 ounces, but the technology of processing tea into brick tea is normal, right? It's just a 200 ounces of hard money!

Bu Dugen took it over and weighed it, and felt it was indeed thick. Then he saw that the missing corner was not much. According to this amount, if you drink it yourself, it would be no problem for a month...

"Four sheep, or cattle and horse of the same value, exchange for two brick tea!" Bu Dugen thought about the price, and the current transaction price was 600 ci, one sheep was 2,400 ci, four were 2,400 ci, and four were 400 ci, which should be enough.

"Five, or equivalent value cattle and horse!" Liu Tao was unwilling to suffer losses. He originally planned to use border trade to squeeze the Xianbei. "Who knows whether the leader will resell it to other tribes. Then more than ten sheep will be a tea brick or something... As long as this thing doesn't get water in, it will not be a problem for a year."

"Okay, there are only five!" Bu Dugen thought about it, but finally agreed. The main reason was that Liu Tao reminded him that this thing could be resold to others. Not many, eight sheep would be sold. In the end, he still made a profit, "How many goods are there?"

"It's not too much at the moment, only more than twenty yuan. I've already rushed to buy it. But even Yizhou, the main production area, does not have a special saying for planting tea, and it costs a lot of labor to transport it..." Liu Tao replied.

"I want it all!" Bu Dugen just wrapped himself in the circle without saying a word.

"Don't be so anxious, there are still many good things..." Liu Tao smiled. It's too easy to fool people who have never seen the world.

Iron and rhubarb are bulk transactions, and others want as much as they have. Then there is wine, which is also in great demand.

The amount of tea cannot keep up, so it can only be considered a small transaction. What is unbelievable is that silk, brocade and silk seem to sell well on the grassland. No wonder those caravans transported a lot of them. At first, Liu Tao was wondering whether this thing could be sold.

There are also some lacquerware, mainly used by nobles such as leaders to decorate the storefronts, and perhaps silk is the same.

On the grassland, fur, wool, and livestock were mainly sold. According to Liu Tao's needs, hundreds of young and strong people were transported this time, including more than 30 and a half-year-old children.

"Can medicinal materials be included in the ranks of goods?" Liu Tao looked at Bu Dugen.

"We don't know what medicinal materials you Han people need... If you can describe the general appearance and shape, or give us some samples, we can help." Bu Dugen was stunned when he heard this, and then expressed his opinion.

The Xianbei itself is not a pure grassland ethnic group, and can still make a good fortune in the mountains and forests. Otherwise, would it be that so many skins were obtained on the grassland?

"I will go back and arrange this." Liu Tao nodded. The Yinshan Mountains are also a natural treasure house of medicinal materials. The key is to rely on the supply of medicinal materials from Yinshan and Taihang Mountains. He can completely build Yunzhong into the largest medical holy place in the Han Dynasty.

Uh... To be on the safe side, you may consider Taiyuan, or Shangdang or something.

If hundreds of years later, an unfilial descendant will lose the territory outside the Great Wall, and everything in this medical holy land will be cheaper for foreigners. As long as they do not occupy the grassland, even if one nation is destroyed, another nation will soon appear.

National extinction is always the last step, national assimilation is the right way, and it is more in line with China's values.

It’s not that it can’t be cheap, but I just thought of a neighbor in later generations who said that the Chinese medicine he had learned was his own, and then said that the Chinese medicine was passed down by them, which is a bit disgusting.

Of course, it is obviously a bit too early to think about this now...

However, during war, the consumption of drugs is definitely huge. Especially in the era without antibiotics, there are much more soldiers who die from wound infection than soldiers who die directly on the battlefield.

At this stage, Liu Tao can only use high alcohol disinfection and high-temperature sterilization to avoid this situation. However, considering the lack of alcohol, only priority can be given to the officers.

Everyone was very satisfied with the transaction. Nothing happened during the period. He had to set the issue when going to the toilet, which made him a little dissatisfied, but this toilet paper is really a good thing.

When Bu Dugen left, he even told Liu Tao in a vague way: "The next time you trade, you can trade some of this thing appropriately."

Sure enough, why do you need to use sticks and leaves when you can use toilet paper? No matter what ethnic group is, it is the same! Liu Tao’s only worry is whether the foreigner’s name for China will change from China (porcelain) to Toilet paper (toilet paper).

Given that this transaction was good, Budugen generously increased the number of horses to the upper limit of 2,000 horses. He also said that horses, especially war horses, can only be traded to friends according to the rules of the grassland!

Liu Tao also smiled at this and said a few friendly words to each other. He was just not too happy. After all, Budugen only increased the upper limit, but how much they can trade each time depends on how much they brought.
