When the Huns' civil war was in full swing, Zhang Yue had already returned to Juyan.

In Juyan, he received the first compensation from the Huns, including gold, fur, and pearls and jade.

Just the gold-headed gold, there were seven large trucks installed.

The largest piece weighs more than 30 kilograms, and the smallest piece is also a few taels.

These are the wealth that the Huns have been in the box, and they have found treasures in Jinshan, Tianshan, and Jiduanshui River Basin for decades!

Now, in order to ease the relationship, it’s all here.

Once weighed, it weighed more than 8,000 kilograms!

Zhang Yue made an excuse casually and depreciated the value of these dog-headed gold to 6,000 gold.

The reason is simple.

Even though his reason could not stand the scrutiny at all, the Huns could only recognize it.

There is no way the situation is better than the human being!

Spending money to buy peace is better than being taken to a nest!

However, Zhang Yue also knew that he would stop when he saw the situation, and he would stop being blacked out after he had broken the money.

The remaining fur, pearls and jade are all calculated at the "market price".

Of course, this market price refers to the local market price in Juyan, not Changan.

As a result, thousands of furs of various colors sent by the Huns were collected at prices of several hundred coins to up to ten gold.

This includes hundreds of pictures of tiger skin, bear skin and leopard skin with good quality.

And more than a hundred white fox furs that can cause a sensation in Chang'an!

So much so that the thousands of fur made of nitrate can only be compensated for the compensation of only 3,000 gold.

As for pearls and jade?

It was originally prepared in the same way, and tens of thousands of uncooked jades of good quality were all calculated according to the general price of jade.

The total value was suppressed by four thousand gold.

At this point, the Huns were still smiling happily, very happy.

The nobles who were escorted even asked Zhang Yue if they could also go at this price for the fur and jade in the future?

Should I use these things to exchange for silk, salt, iron, or even armor for Juyan?

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and agreed.

The Huns were suddenly overjoyed and were almost singing and dancing to celebrate on the spot.

There is no way, the Han-Hungary War has been around for more than thirty years.

For more than 30 years, the Han Dynasty completely cut off trade with the Huns, which severely hit the economic source of the Huns.

Not to mention the other side, the only market in the known world that can eat up the excess fur of the Huns every year is the Han Dynasty.

The gold and jade produced by the Huns were sold to the Han family to exchange for things.

Otherwise, you will have to cross mountains and ridges and sell them to Daxia thousands of miles away.

Not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, the profits you earn may not be able to compensate for the cost of the hard work of the journey.

There is no way, although the dog's head is gold and jade are hard currency.

However, they cannot have a profit margin of ten times or hundreds of times like silk.

Although local countries in the Western Regions also need gold and jade, the problem is... their demand is small and they can produce it themselves.

Especially those countries near the river and mountainous countries, their own gold and jade production has been saturated.

For more than 30 years, the Huns could only use these gold, pearls and jade as sacrifices or as things to bribe Han officials.

The help to the Huns themselves is about nothing.

Now, can we open up the road to trade in the Han-Hungary?

It is equivalent to announcing that these things that were once considered consumables have finally become useful!

How come they are unhappy?

Especially the nobles, they were all so happy.

They finally felt that the agreement with the Han Dynasty seemed to be no harm?

Anyway, if you are going to suffer, it is only Shanyu and Wangting.

But they can make a profit.

The tribe's fur, gold, jade picked up and dug, can be replaced with silk, salt, iron, cloth and other commodities.

Cool!

Zhang Yue took this opportunity to suggest that these Xiongnu envoys, Juyan and Hexi, now have a great demand for slaves.

If someone can get some servants...

Well, salt and iron, silk tubes are enough.

Even if it is a soldier, it can be replaced.

When these Huns heard this, they immediately became enlightened.

So, half a month, they crossed the Tianshan Mountains with fur, gold and servants, and came to Quli City, the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Wang Mang, in accordance with Zhang Yue's request, took the goods at a "high price".

This time Pandora's magic box was opened.

The Huns in the Western Regions acted quickly.

At the beginning, they were still hiding Li Ling, and they only dared to quietly cross the Tianshan Mountains on a small scale, and trade with the Han Dynasty, with a small amount of trade.

However, as the war in Mobei continued, Li Ling also participated in the trade in order to raise military expenses, especially military armor.

As a result, the Han-Hungarian trade rose to its highest point in history in two months.

In April alone, the Huns in the Western Regions transported tens of thousands of pounds of dog-head gold, more than 20,000 slaves, and a total of more than 40,000 furs to the Quli.

They replaced more than 10,000 bronze swords, more than 7,000 bows, one million bronze arrow clusters, more than 2,000 leather armor, and more than 3,000 bronze head helmets.

These are all things Zhang Yue brought from Chang'an Arsenal.

They are basically all weapons of grandpa.

The production dates of some weapons can even be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.

This is also the advantage of bronze weapons, which are corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain.

Not to mention losing the arsenal for more than a hundred years, even if it is underground for a thousand years or two thousand years, it will not decay.

In addition to weapons, the Huns also exchanged a large amount of salt, grain and cloth.

By May, in fact, the Hun tribes in the Western Regions had completely relied on trade with the Han to maintain their survival.

At this time, the gold and jade resources on the surface of the Western Regions had basically been exhausted.

The Huns had no choice but to order the countries in the Western Regions to offer sacrifices.

At the same time, a large number of slaves were organized to search for jade and golden resources among the rivers and mountains of the Western Regions.

They even learned to dig gold in Yinlio Water and plan to find the river sections rich in gold sand among the tributaries of the water, and then organized people to dig gold and dig jade.

But these are ultimately a drop in the bucket.

It is only enough to compensate the principal and interest of the compensation paid to the Han Dynasty every month.

I have to say here that the imperialist financial plan that Zhang Yue copied was really great.

It seemed like a loss, giving the Huns a chance to tear up the agreement.

Actually it's a bundle!

Especially the plan of paying down payment plus monthly principal and interest repayment.

It was like a shackle, strangled on the necks of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, forcing them to take out gold, pearls, jade, and fur slaves every month to offset the principal and interest.

Although it doesn't seem much every month, it only costs hundreds of gold.

But the problem is that in this month, the Huns suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

But the civil war in Mobei became more and more intense.

Even though Li Ling led his troops to join the battlefield, he quickly seized the private Qu Bihai, and conquered a large number of tribes in the name of his ancestors, Fox Lu Gu.

He also received the help of Wei Lu and gained the upper hand on the battlefield.

A large number of bronze armor purchased from the Han Dynasty to arm his army, and fought An Mi and Tu Qi fled in a hurry.

But the problem is that it is precisely because Li Ling is too strong.

So, all parties instantly began to unite and target him.
