But this time they came. If there were no orders issued by Li De next time, would they still take the initiative to do business with a thousand miles?

The answer is no.

Li De’s method was not very clever, just throwing out a bait, and then talking about fine salt.

Next time, these merchants don’t need Li De to say anything more. If they want to make money, they will definitely come to Ningzhou to buy fine salt. When they come, they will definitely bring a full cart of goods to sell locally.

When you go back, buy local items and buy some salt so that they can maximize their benefits.

I believe no business will refuse such a business that makes a lot of money.

Li De said that everyone limits the amount of one car. In fact, it would be good if they could buy one stone with all they could. Just like in Youzhou, the difference is that in Ningzhou, the amount of fine salt they can buy will be more.

At the same time, they need to pay more money.

Solve the problem of selling salt, after the snow melts, merchants will set foot in Ningzhou again to bring new trade trends.

"Grandmaster, the envoy of the Tiel tribe, Yida officials asked for their visit." The guard came in to report.

"Invite the envoy in." Li De responded.

When Yida entered the combat room, the interior decoration had completely changed. There was no style of the tent of the barracks commander, and the first room.

There were also various accounts that were placed on Li De's desk that were counting and waiting to be checked. He was so busy that he had no time to look up. The guards around him were quietly guarding the left and right.

When Yida came in, he was affected by the atmosphere in the room. The feeling of a scholarly family made people not want to speak loudly.

"Grandmaster, I come to discuss trade matters under the instructions of the leader of Tiel." Yida did not wait until the future intention was explained.

As an envoy, even if you don’t want to destroy the atmosphere, it won’t work.

In addition to being busy, Li De was not idle, and he also learned Tiel's language along with him. He understood a lot of what Yida said just now.

"Please sit and have tea." Li De said.

The guard immediately took the tea set placed beside him and started steaming and brewing tea in front of everyone.

Yida was watching from the side. He had long known that the people of Sui Dynasty had the habit of making tea. Those who could afford tea were either rich or noble. Even he followed the Grand Commander and had tried to make tea in Sui Dynasty.

The taste is unique, and it smells weird and refreshes, but he doesn't like it.

Seeing the guard boiling water, Yida didn't say anything but didn't want to drink it in his heart. However, if the visitor was a guest, he would lose his manners and might affect the trade between the two sides.

He was confused and decided that he would drink it no matter how weird the smell was.

Li De didn't know that Yida was struggling with drinking tea, and he couldn't blame Yida for not being disliked by cooking tea in the Sui Dynasty. If he cooked the green onion and ginger ingredients with tea, it would be a soup for drinking tea and eggs. That kind of richness would make people feel melancholy.

But this tea is not boiled tea eggs.

Li De put down a book in his hand, got up and went to the seat opposite Yida to sit down.

"Please have tea." Li De now doesn't need to translate his daily communication.

Yida was a little surprised. He could hear that the Grand Governor of the Sui Kingdom could speak the Tiel language. Anyone would be surprised if he had such a thing.

"It will be bad when the tea is cold." Li De reminded again.

As he said that, he took a sip and it tasted delicious and bitter, with endless aftertaste.

Yida looked at Li De's calm expression and thought about how to drink such a bad thing and enjoy it so much. The tastes of the Sui people are heavy enough.

Li De looked at Yida and seemed to see that the other party had something to do. He didn't know if he came here today to talk about the matter.

Yida still picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was not important than drinking anything when talking about business.

After waiting for a while, there was no strange and rich smell. Some were dry and sweet and sipped and it made people feel aftertaste.

"Grandmaster, what kind of tea is this so delicious?" Yida asked.

They also drink tea, but the difference is that the people of the Sui Kingdom put various seasonings into the tea, and they just brewed it. However, compared to the tea they usually drink, the taste just now is really wonderful.

"Haha, just like it. This is a new type of tea processed, which can be called Kung Fu tea for the time being." Li Dedao.

He didn't talk about stir-frying tea. If he said that, there would definitely be someone trying it out in the future and then he couldn't keep it secret and how to make money. So he directly said this name. In fact, the real meaning is "Kung Fu Tea", "explosive". From the beginning of brewing to the point where you drink it in your mouth, you have to go through some brewing methods.

The waiting is not long. If you start from the beginning, such as boiling water and rinsing the tea set, it will take a lot longer. Waiting will take time in Li De's understanding.

Yida didn’t know what Li De thought. He now knew that there was a kind of tea in the Sui Dynasty called Kung Fu Tea, which was very delicious.

"Grandmaster, our Tiel tribe wants to buy food." Yida thought of the matter immediately.

"I don't know how much it needs?" Li De asked.

Yida had already figured it out in his heart, so he said, "Five hundred thousand stones."

Li De calculated in his mind that on average, one person could eat one stone for one month, and he could get 50,000 soldiers and horses for a year.

It doesn’t matter what Li De thinks about how to use this batch of grain. If 500,000 shi can be satisfied according to Ningzhou’s reserves.

Now Ningzhou has reserved enough food for more than 100,000 pioneer soldiers to eat for three years, but it is no problem to spend some extra money.

"One thousand war horses, plus five hundred sheep." Li Dedao.

Yida thought about it, a thousand war horses were not a loss for one year of food, and five hundred sheep were nothing to them, so the two of them made a deal directly.

After seeing Yida off, Li De asked people to start preparing food.

In fact, the price can be more expensive, but everything is relative. No one is a fool. If the price of grain is high, Tiel's horses will inevitably increase.

He Bida received the notice and rushed over and said, "Grandmaster, this Mao trade used so much food to exchange for their 1,000 war horses. It would be better to defeat the benefits they robbed directly."

Li De thought about it, what He Bida said was indeed the case, but in many cases, war cannot solve the problem, and there is no problem with the Tiel tribe having food.

Although it theoretically supports 50,000 soldiers and horses to eat for one year, don’t forget that the railway tribe has more than just soldiers and horses and they also have a huge tribal population.

If it is spread out evenly, it will be enough for the Tiel tribe to spend this winter.

Li De was not worried that they would reserve enough food. It was simple. Even if the Tiel tribe didn't do farming, even if they had a lot of food, it would be gone in only two winters.

Ningzhou only needs to wait for winter to come and then they will farm in the spring of the Chinese New Year. A large amount of land will have enough food in the autumn harvest season.

As long as the development of Ningzhou is well controlled by farming affairs, the local people will not be short of clothing and food.
